Re: bash -c error


Eric Blake

Thanks for the backtrace. I'll see about rolling a bash 3.0-15 in the
near future. In the meantime, avoid invalid uses of time (POSIX states
that time takes a mandatory argument of the utility name to run; the bash
extension of letting time take no arguments was the culprit here).

This was just a minimal test case.


$ bash -c time ls
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

However,

$ bash -c 'time ls'
bin       cygwin.bat  etc   lib   sbin  usr
cygdrive  cygwin.ico  home  proc  tmp   var

real    0m0.025s
user    0m0.046s
sys     0m0.000s
