Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 25
Release Status: release

Description:
empty line(s) at the end of quoted command subsitutions are missing:

example:

        # echo "$( echo ; echo a ; echo "b" ; echo "" ; echo "" ; echo ) " ; 
echo done

        a
        b 
        done
        # 

while there should be two empty lines between "b" and "done" like this :

        # echo "$( echo ; echo a ; echo "b" ; echo "" ; echo "" ; echo ) " ; 
echo done

        a
        b 
        
        
        done
        # 


bash 4.1.7(1)-release from opensuse 11.3 gives the same output,
but Im still mostly bash3-based, so a fix for this in bash3 is welcome too;)


Repeat-By:
        echo "$( echo ; echo a ; echo "b" ; echo "" ; echo "" ; echo ) " ; echo 
done
