Package: ttyrec
Version: 1.0.8-3
Severity: normal

When running a command that prints something and immediately exits,
with ttyrec -e, it seems to lose what is printed at the end sometimes.

j...@gnu:~>ttyrec -e "perl -le 'print \$x++ for 1..2'"

j...@gnu:~>ttyrec -e "perl -le 'print \$x++ for 1..2'"

If the command sleeps a little before exiting, the problem is avoided,
thus this must be a race of some kind.

j...@gnu:~>ttyrec -e "perl -le 'print \$x++ for 1..2; sleep 1'"

Note: The ttyrecord file is also empty when the output has been lost.
