Here's a bug I noticed in Bash v18:

In some cases, if a back tick expression is used to generate a command name
and the generated text contains a newline, bash will reply--

: command not found

It appears to trying to treat the newline as the command rather than the
text.


Is this a known problem?   Should I submit a bug report with a repro case,
and if so, where?
