Starting from `emacs -Q -f eshell', enter the following command:
echo ${*echo hi} | rev
The output is:
~ $ ih
That is, the output of the command ended up *after* the prompt, when it
should be before. This usually happens in cases where Eshell thinks all
the subprocesses in a command have finished, but there's actually one
still running. In this case, it's because the ${SUBCOMMAND} clobbers the
headproc/tailproc values being recorded for the (outer) pipeline. Both
the top-level command and the subcommand call `eshell-execute-pipeline',
and the function isn't properly reentrant.
Patch forthcoming momentarily. I'm just getting a bug number first.
