Package: zsh
Version: 4.2.5-7
Severity: normal
hi,
while plain echoing of $RANDOM works as expected:
(%:~)- echo $RANDOM && echo $RANDOM && echo $RANDOM
30712
13406
8950
doing the same in a backquoted statement yields a strange result:
(%:~)- echo `echo $RANDOM` && echo `echo $RANDOM` && echo `echo $RANDOM`
30712
30712
30712
i was able to reproduce this on several hosts and with various
configurations. it is not what i expect from $RANDOM ;)
thanks
fabian
