Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 42
Release Status: release
Description:
The read builtin disregards (or sporadically uses unpredictable value of)
the IFS variable when is interrupted by a trapped signal.
Repeat-By:
- install a trap for a signal, say SIGALRM or SIGUSR1
- cycle read from a process with a custom IFS to split read string into
variables
- each interrupted read will return the string splitted in wrong way
Attached script demonstrates the bug.
Thank you in advance.
With best regards,

The traps shouldn't assume and run with the temporary environment. This will be fixed in bash-4.4.
