Re: Sourcing a script from a pipe is not reliable

[Jeremy]

Agreed there is no likelihood of a patch to 3.2. However, this version of
bash still has a significant presence in the wild and this bug is breaking
an installation script, so I am looking for a POSIX-compliant (and works
under Cygwin) alternative that avoids this bug so the script can be
modified.

As a step towards getting there, and out of plain curiosity, I would also
like to know if this is due to a known bug and if so, what the underlying
cause is and in what versions it has been fixed.
