It's true. I rarely look there. bug-bash is the preferred conduit for bug reports. > https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?108163 > probably invalid, pasting giant buffers into bash loses characters > because of lack of pseudo tty flow control, not bash's fault. Interestingly enough, a few enterprising people (Margarita Manterola, Maximiliano Curia) put significant time into this and discovered a problem with tty input queue management in the Linux kernel. The most recent message thread is here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2013-11/msg00005.html The kernel thread is here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/7/25/205 (Oh, and Posix specifies that printf %c only prints the first byte.)
