Package: bash Version: 3.1-1 Severity: normal The following command segfaults at line 4097:
% seq 0 10000 | while read line; do /bin/echo $line ; done | tail -2 4095 4096 The seq, echo and tail commands are for illustration only, they are not related to the bug. I originally discovered the bug with completely different commands, but the above is the simplest illustration of the bug. The segfault appears when the input reaches line 4097, and when an external command is invoked. If you use the builtin echo, the bug doesn't appear: % seq 0 10000 | while read line; do echo $line ; done | tail -2 9999 10000 -- 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 2.6.14-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 3.1.9 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.15.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand bash recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
