Description:
coproc gives a syntax error if I try to use it with a lower case
variable name and a compound command:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Repeat-By:
coproc bc { bc; }
coproc bc (bc)
I can't reproduce this. What does `type bc' produce?
