In current git, 'bash -o posix' no longer exits the shell on a syntax
error in the argument to the special builtin 'eval'. Bash 4.2-4.4 exit
as POSIX specifies.
$ bash -o posix -c 'eval "(" || echo woops'
bash: eval: regel 1: syntaxfout: onverwacht bestandseinde
woops
On the other hand, note that 'command eval' should *not* exit. Bash
4.2-4.4 exit on 'command eval "("' which is also a bug.
Thanks,
