Hi all,I did a test about run a bash scriplt never quit,but met a memory
usage issue that cause used memory continuous increase.This issue was
present in bash-3.2.x, bash-4.0.x, bash-4.1.x, bash-4.2.x, bash-4.3.x.
However, This issue was disappeared in bash-4.4.0, I can't trace which patch
fixed the issue or which new feature was introduced in bash-4.4.0.Here is
bash
script:------------------------------------------------------------------------------#!/bin/bashlogger
"Started testing"while(true);do while (true); do ls > /dev/null

someone help to tell me which part of changes in bash-4.4.0, that would be
give me a direction backport code changes from bash-4.4 to bash-3.2.x and
