Expected Results: bash should have echoed "/*/foo" and prompted for the next input line. Additional info: works without problem on SunOS, other linux machines (including Fedora Core 6)
I have rebooted the system, and the problem has gone away.
Timed out NFS/samba/whatever mount of some directory in / ?
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Does problem persist? Or was it by something in Comment #2? Or whatever?
No response. And looks like not a bug. If you want to get echoed /*/foo you can use: echo '/*/echo' Closing notabug
typo: echo '/*/foo'
