[gnu.bash.bug] bash 1.04 dumps core with pipe to function

andrewt@watsnew.waterloo.edu (Andrew Thomas) (11/15/89)

On a uVax II running Ultrix 2.0

the following set of commands always causes bash to fail:

bash$ function gnu () { /usr/local/gnu/bin/$* ; }
bash$ cat test.tar | gnu tar -tvf -

gdb output can be produced if needed.
