#70 watch a variable with multiple strings caused errors

Rocky Bernstein — Tue, 06 Jul 2021 13:10:45 -0000

Thanks! Should be fixed in the bash-4.2, bash-4.4, bash-5.0, and bash-5.1 branches in commits 2912083, fba89d9, dd9847b, and 9ccf28b respectively.

But I make lots of mistakes which is why I work on debuggers. So please double check.
