Bisected it down to: commit ac50fbac377e32b98d2de396f016ea81e8ee9961 Author: Chet Ramey <chet.ramey@case.edu> Date: Wed Feb 26 15:36:43 2014 Bash-4.3 distribution sources and documentation Not that the way bash upstream fails at git makes this very helpful. Arfrever reported this about a year ago: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2014-05/msg00003.html and the final result was WAI: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2014-05/msg00021.html Oh right, I could've expected nothing less from this idiot upstream. We have a feature for N years, then upstream suddenly declares it is a bug and 'fixes' it, breaking compatibility and stuff. I should be grateful. The useful bug is finally fixed, and we should set empty variables instead which change behavior in software! please refrain from ad-hominem attacks. they're entirely pointless and no one likes to read them. |
