Ksh regression on function return
Issue
- There is a regression with the following Korn Shell code:
#!/bin/ksh
g(){
cat << EOF
$(ls /etc |xargs -i echo " {}")
EOF
}
for file in $(g)
do
echo $file
done
- The above should return the list of files under
/etc. This used to work on RHEL 5.6 but does not work on RHEL 5.9. Also RHEL 6.3and 6.4 seem to be affected.
