[Help-bash] eval backgrounds with & in variable string

[Jesse Molina]

Behold my glory:

[~/work/eval_testing]
address@hidden>eval echo 'one&uno&ichi'
[3] 14201
[4] 14202
one
-bash: uno: command not found
-bash: ichi: command not found
[3]   Done                    echo one
[4]   Exit 127                uno




Okay, that's definitely not what I wanted.  Eval seems to have evaluated 
my "&" characters into being a split and then tries to background those 
commands.

Can I "set" something to make this work, or am I going to have to escape 
these on input?



While on the subject of eval, does anyone else have fun examples, known 
pitfalls, and other interesting things?
