Bash Version: 2.05b
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
    The [ command error reporting can incorrectly state which file an error
occured in.

Repeat-By:
    Create A.sh:
        #!/bin/sh
        echo "about to source B.sh"
        source B.sh
        echo "finished sourcing B.sh"

    Create B.sh:
        #!/bin/sh
        echo "first line of B.sh. next line has an error.."
        [ 0 [
        echo "after error-line"

    Run A.sh:
        nick@client1:~> ./A.sh
        line 3 of A.sh. about to source B.sh
        line 2 of B.sh. next line has an error..
        ./A.sh: line 3: [: missing `]'
        after error-line
        finished sourcing B.sh
        nick@client1:~>

    See that the error message says that the error occured on line 3 of A.sh,
when in fact the error occured on line 3 of B.sh
