Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 29
Release Status: release
Description:
If you interrupt the evaluation of **/ wildcard expansion, the file
descriptors which were opened will not be closed.
Also, memory used will not be released.
Repeat-By:
ls /**/*.txt
# Wait 10 seconds, then press CTRL-C.
ls -la /proc/$$/fd/
# To see the memory leak, run 'top' while you do this. The memory
# usage will grow, and will not return to normal values when the
# operation is interrupted.
# I have also seen out of memory and out of file descriptors errors
# after waiting for a long time before interrupting the process.
