    Hi ross<br>
    <br>
    After querying for the current maintainer of bash Chet Ramey, he
    said the devel <br>
    branch of bash have fixed it. So I will import those patchs later
    for the bash tests<br>
    suite.<br>
    <br>
    We can check the patchs at:<br>

&gt; Hi all
&gt; 
&gt; When I run the tests for the bash, the sub-test unicode3.sub of intl.tests
&gt; failed.
&gt; 
&gt; The sub-test unicode3.sub contain the following:
&gt; 
&gt;     payload=$'\065\247\100\063\231\053\306\123\070\237\242\352\263'
&gt;     "$payload"
&gt;     printf %q "$payload"
&gt; 
&gt; In this situation, the format string "%q" in command printf means that when the
&gt; character in the payload is not in {alpha &amp; digit &amp; punctuation &amp; ISO
&gt; 646(7-bit)}, it
&gt; would print the string with ANSI-C style quoted string: $'...' , we can
&gt; check the source code

This has already been changed in the devel branch (back in May, 2015), and
the test case and tets output was changed at the same time.
