Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: normal
I just tried to execute a shell script by executing "sh script" where
sh in /bin/bash and script is a shell script consisting of lots of
automatically-generated move commands.
But I got:
script: script: cannot execute binary file
(the duplication of "script: " seems to be another bug).
Now, the file clearly wasn't a binary file. I played around with locales,
but couldn't quickly find a locale where bash would accept the script (not
sure if the check is locale-dependent or not).
The apparent reason for triggering this bug seems to be the high content
of 8-bit-octets in the file, but since filenames are not locale-dependent
on unix, bash should not force any "binary" interpretation on valid shell
scripts.
(sorry, can't provide the script itself atm., but could probably provide
an anonymised version of it if really needed).

Hi,
this issue does not seem to affect version 5.0-6 and later of bash. The
second issue reported at the end of this bug report ("bash /bin/firefox
copies /bin/firefox in /tmp") also seems to have been fixed in hte meantime.
Feel free to open a new bug if you can still reproduce any of these issues.
Regards,
