uname output: Linux blackknight 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Nov 30 
19:03:35 CET 2009 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9300 @ 2.50GHz GenuineIntel 
GNU/Linux
Machine Type: i686-pc-linux-gnu

Bash Version: 4.0
Patch Level: 35
Release Status: release

Description:
    The man page seems to be wrong regarding the handling of numbers with 
different bases. It states one has to use [base#]n although it seems to be 
[base#n] that needs to be used...
    (I know I do not have the latest bash, but with 4.1 it is the same in the 
man page.)

Repeat-By:
    blackknight ~ $ echo $[2#]10
    010
    blackknight ~ $ echo $[2#10]
    2

Fix:
    Correct the man page
