Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 4
Release Status: release
Description:
Regradless of the huponexit setting ('shopt -s huponexit' doesn't
help) bash does not send SIGHUP to its children when it receives one
itself. Previous version of bash 3.1.17 was behaving properly
even with huponexit set to off
Repeat-By:
launch rxvt, launch mc then close the rxvt window ->
mc is still running with CPU to 100% (this is because
mc tries to read from stdin while receiving EOF)
Closing rxvt sends SIGHUP to bash but bash doesn't send
SIGHUP to its children
Fix:
Downgrade to bash 3.1.17
