Package: bash
Version: 4.1-3
Severity: minor
File: /bin/bash
I noticed a strange thing on my laptop:
root@dali:~# PS1=\\W
~cd /proc
pocc
For some reason the \W of /proc is reported as "pocc"; \w is reported
correctly (as "/proc") and other paths (e.g. /usr) are reported
correctly. This behaviour is reproducible both as my user (who has
dotfiles) and as root (who has none).
I can't reproduce this on a similarly configured KVM VM that is
running mostly wheezy, whereas my laptop is mostly sid.
I have no idea what's going on, but I'm very curious.
Can you suggest any diagnostics I can try?
If not, I suppose just tag + moreinfo and close/wontfix.
