Bash Version: 5.0
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
This is an error report from an Emacs/Tramp user. With bash 5.0, bash
5.0 dies when HISTSIZE is set to 0. Setting it to 1 seems to work. Using
bash 4.4 works as well. <See https://debbugs.gnu.org/34192> for details.
Repeat-By:
The following is an extract from what Tramp does inside Emacs. I could
reproduce it in a a shell:
# env TERM='dumb' INSIDE_EMACS='27.0.50,tramp:2.4.2-pre' ENV='' HISTFILE=''
HISTFILESIZE=0 HISTSIZE=0 PROMPT_COMMAND='' PS1=\#\$\ PS2='' PS3=''
/home/albinus/src/bash-5.0/bash -norc -noprofile
#$ tramp_perl_file_name_all_completions () {
\perl -e '
opendir(d, $ARGV[0]) || die("$ARGV[0]: $!\nfail\n");
The first line starts bash 5.0 with several environment variables,
including HISTSIZE=0. The second line, after the "#$ " prompt, starts a
shell function declaration. The third and fourth line belong to this
shell function. After the fourth line, bash dies. The exit code is 139.
The same scenario, but with HISTSIZE=1, works proper.
Best regards, Michael.
