Description:
	An alternative version of the memory leak script, for those who blame 
the buffer from the subshell :)

It's a lot slower to leak, but it leaks.

Repeat-By:
f2() { return 1; }
f1()
{
while read -r line; do
f2
done < <(
for ((i=0;i<10;i++)); do
printf '%s\n' "$i"
done
)
}

while true; do
f1
done

Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 12
Release Status: release

Description:
	Somehow the included script causes a memory leak. Memory usage will 
grow huge over a very short timeframe.
	The script is pointless, but cut down from a larger one that does 
something useful.
	Originally, the subshell was reading a while (cat ...), so the printf 
loop has nothing to do with it.
	Replacing the call to f2() with an echo, or anything not a function 
call, makes it not leak.


Repeat-By:
f2() { return 1; }
f1()
{
while read -r line; do
f2 "test"
done < <(
for ((i=0;i<10;i++)); do
printf '%s\n' "$i"
done
)
}

[PATCH] Fix overflow in jobs

[Natanael Copa]

This fixes an issue with bash hanging if user process rlimit is too
high.

To reproduce:

  ulimit -u 9223372036854775807
  bash -c 'sleep 1 & wait $!'
