Anyone know?: How the 'for'-loop could stop working in interactive bash shell?!
It is happening with my sessions already second time: a 'for'-loop for some reason stop to work as expected.
That means or it is looping without exitting, or it is not loop even once.

Here example of my try when it is not processing even one loop.
You can see, I start new subshell and 'for' works fine, but returning back, the 'for' doesn't work again"
Code:
> for ((i=1;i<3;i++));do echo $i; done;
> echo mm
mm
> for ((i=1;i<3;i++));do echo $i; done;
> bash
executing file .bashrc - starting the bash shell--

----> Start of the .myset file  <---

  ----  It is SUN0 box with TEST and MODEL offices  ----

----> End   of the .myset file  <---
>
>
> for ((i=1;i<3;i++));do echo $i; done;
1
2
> 
> exit
exit
> for ((i=1;i<3;i++));do echo $i; done;
> echo boooo
boooo
>
>

Does anybody know what could be a reason?
I do not think it is related to connection soft (I use PuTTY.)

Appreciate any help or hint

shorewall6-ipsets

SHOREWALL-IPSETS(5)						  [FIXME: manual]					       SHOREWALL-IPSETS(5)

NAME

       ipsets - Specifying the name if an ipset in Shorewall6 configuration files

SYNOPSIS

       +ipsetname

       +ipsetname[flag,...]

       +[ipsetname,...]

DESCRIPTION

       Note: In the above syntax descriptions, the square brackets ("[]") are to be taken literally rather than as meta-characters.

       In most places where a network address may be entered, an ipset may be substituted. Set names must be prefixed by the character "+", must
       start with a letter and may be composed of alphanumeric characters, "-" and "_".

       Whether the set is matched against the packet source or destination is determined by which column the set name appears (SOURCE or DEST).
       For those set types that specify a tupple, two alternative syntaxes are available:
	   [number] - Indicates that 'src' or
		 'dst' should repleated number times. Example: myset[2].
	   [flag,...] where
		 flag is src or
		 dst. Example: myset[src,dst].

       In a SOURCE column, the following pairs are equivalent:

       o   +myset[2] and +myset[src,src]

       In a DEST column, the following paris are equivalent:

       o   +myset[2] and +myset[dst,dst]

       Beginning with Shorewall 4.4.14, multiple source or destination matches may be specified by enclosing the set names within +[...]. The set
       names need not be prefixed with '+'. When such a list of sets is specified, matching packets must match all of the listed sets.

       For information about set lists and exclusion, see shorewall-exclusion[1] (5).

EXAMPLES

       +myset

       +myset[src]

       +myset[2]

       +[myset1,myset2[dst]]

FILES

       /etc/shorewall6/hosts -- Note: Multiple matches enclosed in +[...] may not be used in this file.
