Title:
  bash 5.2 regression too-aggressive optimizing of forks in an `eval'
  command inside a (command) subshell

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ovn package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  OVN makes use of GNU autotest for its testsuite. This in turn is a
  heavy user of bash.

  For some reason, when the 'ovn-controller incremental processing' test
  is executed using bash 5.2 on Debian experimental or Ubuntu
  Kinetic/Lunar, the `eval` [0] in the `counter_delta_` function
  misinterprets successful execution of commands [1], leading to a false
  negative for the 'ovn-controller incremental processing' test [2].

  Backporting the bash 5.1 package from Jammy, or compiling bash 5.1
  from upstream sources and rerunning the test makes it succeed.

  This does come across as a regression in bash.
