Description Paulo Andrade 2016-05-23 20:22:48 UTC

Simple reproducer:

---8<---
$ sleep 60 &
[1] 17210
$ jobs -l
[1]  + 17210 Running                       sleep 60
]$ jobs -l > out
[1]  + 17210 Running                       sleep 60
$ cat out
$
$  jobs -l >& err
$ cat err
[1]  + 17210 Running                       sleep 60
---8<---

This is a regression in rhel-6.8, and rhel-7.3, caused by
the patch to correct #1019321 (tcsh prints error message
on standard output instead of stderr).

Comment 2 David Kaspar // Dee'Kej 2016-05-24 11:52:20 UTC

Yes, this is definitely a regression. I will be contacting upstream about this during today.

Comment 3 David Kaspar // Dee'Kej 2016-05-24 12:37:59 UTC

Upstream has been informed:

I have closed this by mistake (thought this was fixed in RHEL 6.7.z), reopening...
