I am still having trouble with
foo 2>&1 > foo.out
I was always getting the error message:
syntax error near `&%1'
With the help of an inciteful friend, I discovered that the problem
is with some of my favourite aliases:
alias 1='%1'
It seems that bash does alias expansion after "&" even though the "&"
doesn't indicate a background job.

bison and gcc.
