Help Reproduce a Bash Bug

[Kirk Hilliard <kirk@debian.org>]

Debian users,

Please help us reproduce an elusive bash bug.

Bug#62154 reports that Bash gives a "Permission denied" error when it
should complain "No such file or directory", but neither the Bash
maintainer nor I can reproduce it.

Please execute the following from the command line:

  ./thisdoesnotexist

Assuming that you do not have a file by such a name, you should see
the following error message:

  bash: ./thisdoesnotexist: No such file or directory

If, however, you see this error message:

  bash: ./thisdoesnotexist: Permission denied

(and thisdoesnotexist does not exist) then please run the these
commands:

  ./thisdoesnotexist
  ls -ld . thisdoesnotexist
  echo $SHELL
  echo $BASH_VERSION
  pwd
  mount
  uname -srm

and paste the results into a mail message to me.

Thank you,

Kirk Hilliard
