System info and Addendum#1
Here are some more data points: Both are on RH6.2 with all errata updates Kernel 2.2.16-3. P-III 700 128Mb RAM bash-1.14.7-22.: 1 failure in 6,283,000 substitutions Kernel 2.2.16-3 rebuilt with advanced routing enabled (but not used). Celeron 400 128Mb RAM bash-1.14.7-22.: 22 failures in 3,600,000 substitutions bash2-2.03-8: 0 failures in 4,640,000 tests --------- This bug is *very* annoying when it occurs on long, unattended software builds. It drives me near insane when an overnight build stalls during a kernel build or an autoconf run is messed up resulting in miscompiled software. Created attachment 34962 [details]
Possible work-around for bug in bash (or libc or ??).
