It is in zsh 5.0.6 and 5.0.7. Got fixed in 5.0.8. A lot more POSIX bugs have been fixed since, so the latest version is recommended if you care about POSIX compliance. > I discovered this bug developing a small shell library, where you can > find an use case in the n_str_set function of the lib/str.sh file > included in http://www.trek.eu.org/devel/naive/naive-0.0.2.tar.gz As luck would have it, I'm developing a shell library too, including a whole battery of bug and feature tests for POSIX shells. We should exchange notes. I won't have time for the next few days, but I'll be in touch. Thanks, - Martijn
