Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
        I have a script that execute `if [[ "$(<"/proc/$1/cmdline")" = tmux* 
]];`.
        All /proc/*/cmdline include null bytes, and as of Bash 4.4, this 
results in
        a warning being spewed on stderr which did not happen in Bash 4.3.

Repeat-By:
        echo "$(<"/proc/$$/cmdline")"

Fix:
        Is this even an intentional change? I looked at some of the other
        internal_warning invocations, and they were commented out using "#if 0 
...
        #endif."
