Ahh, so that's what it was. I was surprised when a newly compiled Bash works on kernel-2.6.14 but hangs on kernel-2.4.31 (Slackware-10.2). It hangs after executing external command (ie. date). But, internal command (ie. echo) runs and command prompt returns afterwards. > In attachment you can find this patch > (consisting only of a few lines of code), but, > if you prefer so, then you can download it directly > from any slackware mirror (for instance, > from > > http://slackware.ngi.it/slackware-10.2/source/a/bash/patches/ > ). -- William Park <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Toronto, Canada ThinFlash: Linux thin-client on USB key (flash) drive http://home.eol.ca/~parkw/thinflash.html BashDiff: Super Bash shell http://freshmeat.net/projects/bashdiff/ _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
