Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 30
Release Status: release

Description:
        According to the joint man page for '[' and 'test', '[ --version' and '[ --help' should give appropriate output, while 'test' should not. 'test' appears to behave correctly, but when running '[ --version' or '[ --help', the following error appers:
bash: [: missing `]'

        It appears that whatever code is checking for syntax failed to take  the two options that may be passed to '[' into account.


Repeat-By:
        [ --help
        OUTPUT: bash: [: missing `]'
