Hello !
For some time now, I had a problem which I thought oracle was the reason for.
Now I found, that it seems to be a Bash problem.
I'm using GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (i586-suse-linux) on SuSE 9.3
This is the "buggy behaviour":
Whenever I "su - oracle" into the oracle account, the .profile executes a tiny
oracle helper script "oraenv" to determine/set the oracle environment.
After logging in and choosing the Database SID, whenever I use tab-completion
"as usual" (cd /long[tab]directory[tab]path) - the current bash i'm "in" dumps
core and the terminal is messed up. I need to issue a reset inside the terminal
and find myself back at the root prompt.
I tracked this "problem" down to a line in /etc/profile.d/complete.bash
function _cd_ ()
{
---snippp----
--removed some lines-
---snippp----
# Replace spaces in path names with `\ '
for x in [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; do
C=([EMAIL PROTECTED] ${x// /\\ })
done
COMPREPLY=([EMAIL PROTECTED])
test $g -eq 0 && shopt -u extglob
}
If i comment out "COMPREPLY=([EMAIL PROTECTED])" and login again, the problem
goes away.
I didn't have time, what part of oraenv script triggers this bug and I don`t
know, if I should blame oracle, SuSE folks or bash developers, but I think I
get a competent answer here and some advice, what's going wrong here.
For me, this looks like a bug in bash or probably "not so well handled" bash
configuration in complete.bash - normally I see oracle being blamed for
problems :D
Could someone give a comment about this or give an advice, what to do next to
resolve this bug? (commenting out that line is just a "woraround")
regards
