Package: bash
Version: 2.05b-12
Severity: normal
OK, this is crazy, not sure where to report the bug. But I noticed
that when running "vipw", "crontab -e", "vigr", etc, with
EDITOR="emacs", emacs will completely hang on startup about 25% of the
time, and the presense of a bash option can trigger it.
TEST CASE 1:
------------
env -i EDITOR=emacs TERM=linux SHELLOPTS= bash --noprofile --norc -c "while
true; do crontab -e ; done"
Hit ^X ^C rapidly to keep exiting emacs. No problems.
TEST CASE 2:
------------
env -i EDITOR=emacs TERM=linux SHELLOPTS=monitor bash --noprofile --norc -c
"while true; do crontab -e ; done"
Hit ^X ^C rapidly to keep exiting emacs. Soon, a copy hangs on
startup, process in stopped state (T), cannot be restarted with
SIGCONT, only killed with SIGKILL.
TEST CASE 3:
------------
env -i EDITOR=nano TERM=linux SHELLOPTS=monitor bash --noprofile --norc -c
"while true; do crontab -e ; done"
Hold ^X. Works fine with nano.
============
OK, after some more testing, this may be some strange interaction with
kernel 2.6. The problem shows up on machine 1:
bash 2.05b-12, emacs21 21.3+1-4, linux 2.6.0-test11-bk12
and machine 2:
bash 2.05b-11, emacs21 21.3+1-4, linux 2.6.0-test9
but NOT machine 3:
bash 2.05b-12, emacs21 21.3+1-4, linux 2.4.21
bash 2.05b-8.3, emacs20 20.7-13.1, linux 2.4.21
But I still don't know where the problem lies -- it seems to be
related to bash's job control, somehow, since the problem goes away
when "monitor" is disabled. Something that changed in 2.6 perhaps?
Not sure how to debug this further:
strace crontab causes the problem to not show up
strace attaching to a hung emacs process shows nothing
gdb hangs while attaching to the hung emacs process
