Bash Version: 2.05a
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
if bash is unhappy about "< file" before complex commands, then it
should give clearer error messages.  E.g. detect it and tell the user
to move it to the end or something.

Repeat-By:
$ < /tmp/aaa while read x;do if zfgrep -q $x bbb;then :;else echo $x;fi;done
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;do'
