Bug Report: bash-2.05b-4 - xit: command not found
- From: "Jerry D. Hedden" <jdhedden at yahoo dot com>
- To: cygwin at cygwin dot com

- Subject: Bug Report: bash-2.05b-4 - xit: command not found
The bug is reproducible using the following two scripts:
--- Begin file 1: bug1.sh ---
#!/usr/bin/bash
./bug2.sh
exit
--- End file 1 ---
--- Begin file 2: bug2.sh ---
#!/usr/bin/bash
exit
--- End file 2 ---
Running the first script gives the following:
prompt> ./bug1.sh
./bug1.sh: line 3: xit: command not found
The 'e' is missing from 'exit'.
If you add an extra blank line to the end of bug1.sh as follows:
--- Begin file 1: bug1.sh ---
#!/usr/bin/bash
./bug2.sh
exit
--- End file 1 ---
You now get the following:
prompt> ./bug1.sh
./bug1.sh: line 3: it: command not found
Now the 'e' and 'x' are missing.
Another blank line as follows:
--- Begin file 1: bug1.sh ---
#!/usr/bin/bash
./bug2.sh
exit
--- End file 1 ---
You get:
prompt> ./bug1.sh
./bug1.sh: line 3: t: command not found
Only the 't' is left. If you add a third black line, you get no
error most likely because all the letters in 'exit' have been 'eaten'.
