Hi all,
With bash git master on Mageia v7 x86-64, bash on Debian Stable and other
reported sytems:
shlomif@telaviv1:~$ /home/shlomif/apps/bash/bin/bash -c 'run() { run; } ; run'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
shlomif@telaviv1:~$
note that this is not a fork bomb as no processes are spawned, and it is also
not an out-of-memory problem. I expect bash to fail on this, but it ought not
to segfault.
also:
shlomif@telaviv1:~$ dash -c 'run() { run; } ; run'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
shlomif@telaviv1:~$ zsh -c 'run() { run; } ; run'
run: maximum nested function level reached
I hereby put the reproducing code under the

Credit is due to rosa, ongy, anEpiov and other people of freenode's
##programming channel for inspiring this bug report and helping to diagnose it.
Regards,
Shlomi
