Re: Bug: bash -e misbehaves with several nested

 Hello!

 Hello! I'd like to report a strange bug in 64-bit bash. The following script:

---- cut ---
#/bin/bash -e

DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
echo Works: $DIR
---- cut ---

Simply exits and produces no output (never reaches echo). The same script works perfectly
on 32 bits. Versions are the same:

--- cut ---

It works fine for me.

$ ./prova.bash
Works: /tmp

 Huh, works here too, indeed. But there's one little thing. If you just copypasted this from my email, then you probably miss "#!"
(there's just "#", since i retyped the header, and made a typo). And with this typo it really works for some reason. Could you make
sure once again ?
 Apparently it has to do with -e switch.



$ ./prova_bash
Works: /cygdrive/e/cygwin/tmp

$ cat prova_bash
#!/bin/bash -e

DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
echo Works: $DIR
