unknown GNU/Linux Machine Type: i586-mandrake-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 13
Release Status: release
Description:
It's possible to kill bash with large memory usage due to
brace expansion. I know it's also my limited memory (1GB),
but bash should catch that, no? If this is a known issue and
already fixed, sorry for bothering.
Repeat-By:
echo {0..255}.{0..255}.{0..255}.{0..255}
# Lighter version:
echo {0..255}.{0..255}.{0..255}
