> This is normal. Readline is trying to read input. May be normal, but then please explain why Bash 4.1 patchlevel 009 works and Bash 4.2 patchlevel 6 don't. If I downgrade the virtual container it works again. So the only change is Bash and until proven otherwise that is in my humble opinion the culprit :-).
I've given a strace from both versions. It seems that something in the code is changed around the point where the read is. However I can not find a git or other version control system? So I can't test the seperated patches after Bash 4.1 patclevel 9 to narrow it down for you. -- Henk van de Kamer Netwerkbeheerder armorica.tk http://www.armorica.tk/
