Package: bash
Version: 4.3-7
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
the following code fails in Debian Sid:
for (( j=0; j<( $(echo 1) + 2 ); j++ )); do echo foobar; done
The reported error is:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
and no output is printed (instead of the string "foobar" repeated for 3 lines)
If there I put a space between "<" and "(" the script run as expected:
for (( j=0; j< ( $(echo 1) + 2 ); j++ )); do echo foobar; done
so the problem might be in "<(" being interpreted as a process substitution...
Kinde regards,
Marco Romano.

This issue does not seem to affect version 5.0-6 and later of bash.
$ for (( j=0; j<( $(echo 1) + 2 ); j++ )); do echo foobar; done
foobar
foobar
foobar
Please reopen this bug if you can still replicate this issue.
