Description Karel Zak 2005-02-21 11:49:24 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0

Description of problem:
.qa.[root@ia64-21as root]# echo $$
10500
.qa.[root@ia64-21as root]# bash
.qa.[root@ia64-21as root]# echo $$
10926
.qa.[root@ia64-21as root]# vmstat 1 &> /dev/null &
[1] 10980
.qa.[root@ia64-21as root]# kill 10980
Segmentation fault
.qa.[root@ia64-21as root]# echo $$
10500

It's ia64 and AS2.1 specific and it isn't "kill" problem, because it happen with the "killall" command too. If you try same things with "zsh" it work as expected.

It's real problem for administartors:

.qa.[root@ia64-21as root]# kill 11045
Connection to ia64-21as.test.redhat.com closed.

... it destroys your session :-(((

Is this a regression since 2.1 release?

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2005-03-02 23:53:42 UTC

I've verified for myself that this is a regression since 2.1 release.

Also, this is a duplicate.
