Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 33
Release Status: release
Description:
Unbounded recursion results in a SEGV instead of some error message
telling you what happened. And the test case I'm attaching could also
just run forever if something like tail recursion was handled.
Repeat-By:
function umount {
umount secret
}
umount
Fix:
ksh has a fixed recursion depth limit (4096 on 32 bit machines, not
that many). I'm not sure we want this.
I'm not sure this is worth fixing, I'd just like to see your opinion. Thanks.
