Must be a bug then, since I have bash 4.2.10(1)... Guess thats what I get for updating to latest Ubuntu release =/

Thanks for your help

---------- Post updated at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous update was at 08:50 PM ----------

So, tested on Ubuntu 10.04, 11.04, 11.10 and Debian 6.0.3 and they all have their quirks.

Debian & Ubuntu 10.04/11.04: JoséGonzálesInOurNatureAbramflac
That is not correct, JéGáIONA should be removed

Ubuntu 11.10: ./José Gonzáles - In Our Nature/06 Abram.flac
Does not work at all.

Any idea how I could report this bug?
