Re: BUG in /bin/bash

This worked on all the unix variants I tried except debian linux, which
uses bash for sh instead of "the real sh".  I no longer have a copy of
ash to try.

I tried:

Solaris 2.4
Debian linux 1.1
Irix 5.2
OSF/1 3.2
SunOS 4.1.1
Ultrix 4.2

Sure sounds like this interpretation of ^ comes from upstream...


The use of ^ is quite explicitly mentioned in my V7 manual and appears to
predate the other forms if anything.
