Package: bash Version: 2.05b-26 Severity: normal Hi,
If I run the following command line: for x in $(cat nam); do echo "$x" >&2; echo "$x" |sed 's/\(.\)/\1\ /g' | sort | xargs | sed 's/ //g'; done > nam2 (where the end of the first line is a quoted carriage return, and the file nam is the output of: grep '^[A-Z]' /usr/share/dict/british-english-large | grep -v \' | tr a-z A-Z ) then after outputting 'ALISAN' all output ceases, bash stops responsing to inputs like ^C and ^\ and doing ps waux produces this output (extracted): jdamery 10648 0.1 0.2 6740 5632 pts/54 Ss 15:15 0:08 /bin/bash jdamery 18039 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/54 Z+ 15:17 0:00 [bash] <defunct> jdamery 18040 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/54 Z+ 15:17 0:00 [sed] <defunct> jdamery 18041 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/54 Z+ 15:17 0:00 [sort] <defunct> jdamery 18043 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/54 Z+ 15:17 0:00 [sed] <defunct> -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.32-2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 3.1.2 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.4-4 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii passwd 1:4.0.3-31sarge9 change and administer password and -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
