x86_64 GNU/Linux
Machine Type: x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 23
Release Status: release
Description:
The loadable sleep function seems to exit almost immediately
in some specific cases.
Repeat-By:
The following minimal reproducable example illustrates the issue:
#!/bin/bash
enable -f /lib/bash/sleep sleep
aaa ()
{
type sleep
while true; do
echo -n "A"
dmesg >/dev/null &
sleep $1
done
}
while true; do
aaa 5 &
sleep 60
done
Workaround:
Use /bin/sleep
However this is unwatend for long running scripts, where it pollutes
the process list.
