Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release

Description:
        bash 3.0 sometimes incorrectly exits when executing an interactive 
background
        command that contains process substitution.  This happened with bash 3.0
        and patch 14, so I compiled bash 3.0 with all the patches up to 16, and 
it
        still happens.

Repeat-By:
        In an interactive shell, repeatedly execute the command:
        prompt>  echo $(ls * | sort -n) &
        After a random number of executions, the parent shell will exit with
        a return value of 0.

Fix:
        Unknown
