Description Need Real Name 2003-02-06 07:16:22 UTC 
Description of problem:
ash crashes when given an invalid variable construct to evaluate

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ash-0.3.8-5

How reproducible:
$ echo ${PWD:1}
Syntax error: Bad substitution
Segmentation fault

Steps to Reproduce:
See above.
    
Actual results:
Segmentation fault

Expected results:
Bad substitution, then return to shell prompt

Additional info:
I was just testing ash to see whether it supported this construct; apparently it
does not, but it shouldn't crash as a result.

ash-0.3.8-8 should be in rawhide addressing this problem soon

Check RawHide:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redht/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ash-0.3.8-8.i386.rpm

or my people.redhat.com page (until the next release):
