One thing I encountered is this bug > echo "$(echo $';foo')" bash: foo: command not found introduced with some 3.1 version. Then at some point the following stopped working for d in `echo $locdirs | sed -e 's#/# #g'`; do because bash stupidly regarded the embedded # as comment delimters and complained about not finding the closing backtick. Both bugs are fixed now. Both cases broke scripts that I had released as part of a project and therefore caused bug reports against my script. There were others but I don't have the time to dig them out. I'm not trying to convince you to stay away from bash, just telling you my reasons. Oh, I forgot to mention that I found the zsh developers much easier to get in touch with and much more responsive about bug reports. But all of this is off-topic for gentoo-user, so I'll stop now.
