I've also seen cases where bogus output is added. This only seems to affect cases where input is redirected from a /proc file; if I cat the procfile and pipe into the while loop it isn't an issue. Problem presents with kernel 3.2.0; the problem does not appear if booted with an older kernel (tested with 2.6.32). OTOH, all other tested shells do not exhibit the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 6.5 ii dash 0.5.7-2 ii debianutils 4.2.1 ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libtinfo5 5.9-4 Versions of packages bash recommends: ii bash-completion 1:1.99-3 Versions of packages bash suggests: pn bash-doc <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
