Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bash
When parent of bash terminates, the PPID variable is not updated.
One might also change the documentation to say that PPID will no be updated,
which would make this behavior a "feature"
Testscript as attachment, execute "SleepTest.sh parent" and look at
"log" after 10 seconds:
Outer bash: pid 3217, parent 2711
Inner bash: vars 3218 3217 vs ps 3218 3217
Inner bash: vars 3218 3217 vs ps 3218 3217
Inner bash: vars 3218 3217 vs ps 3218 3217
Inner bash: vars 3218 3217 vs ps 3218 3217
Inner bash: vars 3218 3217 vs ps 3218 3217
Inner bash: vars 3218 3217 vs ps 3218 1
