Hello,
as reported in [286861], certain expressions may confuse bash so that it is no
longer able to evaluate assignments.
[286861] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=286861
I tried to debug it and found that if evalerror (thus longjmp) is called while
noeval != 0, it stays nonzero and assignments cease to work. Such expressions
are for example:
let tmp="foo.a"+0 (only in bash 3.2)
let x=(0?(3?4):3)
I think we should reset noeval to zero in the evalexp function (or restore
expr_stack[0], probably).
Regards,
