--- Comment #9 from Mamoru Tasaka <mtasaka at ioa.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp>  2009-02-02 02:54:28 EDT ---
To make this bug more clearer:

* As I said in comment 0 Japanese man pages for bash need fixing.
  I am not saying that bash binary should be fixed.

* What became critical now is that Japanese bash man page says
  that *in* posix mode source command _does_ search current path.

  This was not a problem on bash 3.x, because
  - In English bash man page, there was (and also is) no mention
    about how source behaves *in* posix mode for current path
    English bash man page explains how source behaves in
    *non*-posix mode only
  - And actually sh 3.x searched current path *in* posix mode

  But with bash 4.x, in posix mode sh no longer searches current
  path
  - This behavior is "correct" because English man page does not
    say anything how source behaves in posix mode for current
    path
  - But Japanese man page _does_ say that sh searches current
    path in posix mode.

  So now not only there is misinterpretation on Japanese man page,
  but also current Japanese man page says what is _against_ what
  sh in posix mode behaves.
