I see. I misunderstood the master branch to be development, but it's the release branch.

Can we compromise a little and revert this patch just until the commit has made into a Bash release? I, like other Emacs users, can afford the risks to run a development Emacs, but I cannot risk a development Bash.

Thanks,

Jake

Paul mailed them:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2015-03/msg00179.html

It was applied to the "devel" branch soon after:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/diff/shell.c?h=devel&id=0385211bb5cb01e0259c64ec2c5cc6337d4e215c

So, the point has been made, but it will take a long time for this to
get into the default bash on all the systems Emacs supports.
