Package: bash Version: 3.0-16 Severity: normal
The following brace expansion: echo {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} Fails with the following error: bash: xmalloc: ../bash/make_cmd.c:167: cannot allocate 8 bytes (0 bytes allocated) And then the shell dies (crash). I'm quite sure that on older versions of the shell this worked OK. I used pdksh to execute the same command and see if it was running out of memory, but it worked fine. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 3.1.7 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii libc6 2.3.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.4-9 Shared libraries for terminal hand hi passwd 1:4.0.3-35 change and administer password and bash recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
