Package: bash
Version: 3.0-14
Severity: normal

as a test case i createa bash script:

#!/bin/bash
echo $0

and call it :
$ (exec -a "name" ./a)
the output is "./a"


I fee the severity of this bug is normal though it may be a
problem having a bug in such a core function of bash.


Is it really a bug or is the feature obsolete ?

Greetings
Alban
