Description:
I ran into a segmentation fault running bash --posix. Here are the
steps to reproduce :
bash-5.1$ echo () { echo test }
> echo test
> }
bash-5.1$ echo
Even though I'm not sure what is causing this seg fault, I'm sure it is
not the normal/expected behaviour.
You created a recursive function, executed it, and ran yourself out of
stack space. Infinite recursion will eventually result in a seg fault.
If you don't want this, look at the FUNCNEST variable.
