Bash Version: 4.3 Patch Level: 42 Release Status: release Description: If you set IFS='*' in an interactive shell, then try to use tab completion, bash freezes and doesn't respond to any keyboard input. Running top from a different bash instance shows the first bash is consuming 100% CPU. The only way to kill it is by kill -9. Repeat-By: 1- Start an interactive bash. 2- IFS='*' 3- Type echo followed by space and then press tab twice. 4- Bash freezes.
