Description Oskari Saarenmaa 2006-02-02 16:33:05 UTC

Description of problem:
After updating to latest rawhide yesterday by zsh started to act strangely, applications running under it don't seem to catch many of the signals that they are sent.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
zsh-4.2.5-1.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. zsh
2. cat
3. ctrl+c
4. cat
5. ctrl+c
  

Actual Results:  The first ctrl+c after starting a fresh zsh gets delivered, but the second one never arrives.

Expected Results:  SIGINT gets delivered to the application as expected.

Additional info:

I also noticed that running ssh under zsh made it lose its SIGCHLD signals which resulted in a number of zombie processes.

I'm not sure that this is zsh's fault (zsh wasn't updated in my latest rawhide update), but I haven't been able to reproduce the problems under bash.

Rebooting after updating to today's rawhide fixed the problem.  Never figured
out what caused it.
