			     BASH PATCH REPORT
			     =================

Bash-Release: 3.1
Patch-ID: bash31-010

Bug-Reported-by: vw@vonwolff.de
Bug-Reference-ID: <20060123135234.1AC2F1D596@wst07.vonwolff.de>
Bug-Reference-URL: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2006-01/msg00090.html

Bug-Description:

There is a difference in behavior between bash-3.0 and bash-3.1 involving
parsing of single- and double-quoted strings occurring in old-style
command substitution.  The difference has to do with how backslashes are
processed.  This patch restores a measure of backwards compatibility while
the question of POSIX conformance and ultimately correct behavior is discussed.

Patch:
