Re: help builtin bug ???

hello,

and what about this:

$ help ()

it opens some program in an interactive mode (which one?). It seems like
it does not react on any command, like '?', giving the output:

bash: błąd składni przy nieoczekiwanym znaczniku `?'

(it's in Polish - meaning syntax error at '?' mark)

and quits immediately to the regular prompt in my shell.

Hope, it is not a way to get through any security in the system.

How to analyze it?

brgds,
S.Iwanek
PS -- I wrote about it also to Chet Ramey.
