echo $"hgh" evaluation problem

[Thomas Hedler]

Hi there!

We are trying to establish Linux as an alternative platform
beside Solarix(2.5,2.7) and HP-UX(9,10,11) here.
But trying to run some of our scripts we discovered the following
problem:

Linux (bash-2.04, RedHat6.1 /bin/bash2):
> echo $
$
> echo $"hi"
hi



Linux (bash-1.14,Solaris(all),Hp-UX(all)):
> echo $
$
> echo $"hi"
$hi
^

This looks like a bug!


In the README you have said that you need the following information:

        * the version number and release status of Bash (e.g., 2.01-release)
bash 2.04

        * the machine and OS that it is running on (look at the file
          `.made' in the bash build directory)
i686-gnu-linux RedHat 6.1

        * a list of the compilation flags or the contents of `config.h', if
          appropriate
Sorry in the moment I have a NFS problem...

        * a description of the bug
see above

        * a recipe for recreating the bug reliably
see above

        * a fix for the bug if you have one!
sorry I don't have one yet.
