Bugzilla-Product: general Bugzilla-Component: general Description: I'm running RH 7.2 2.96-112.7.2 on IA-64. I usually use nslookup but decided to try "host" since nslookup is deprecated. Since I did not know what valid args were for host (besides the obvious system_name), I just typed it on the command line with no options. It then gave me the Usage: info, but then seemed to hang (<cr> did not return a prompt, nor did ctrl-c) and I could not get a system promp back. I opened another window and did: # ps -efl |grep host 040 S root 19369 1 0 77 0 - 906 ia64_r 14:29 ? 00:00:00 host --version 040 S root 19370 1 0 77 0 - 906 ia64_r 14:29 ? 00:00:00 host --version 040 S root 19371 1 0 77 0 - 906 schedu 14:29 ? 00:00:00 host --version 000 S root 19491 19463 0 76 0 - 906 ia64_r 14:35 pts/3 00:00:00 host 040 S root 19493 19491 0 77 0 - 906 wait4 14:35 pts/3 00:00:00 host 040 S root 19494 19493 0 77 0 - 906 ia64_r 14:35 pts/3 00:00:00 host 040 S root 19495 19493 0 77 0 - 906 ia64_r 14:35 pts/3 00:00:00 host 040 S root 19496 19493 0 77 0 - 906 schedu 14:35 pts/3 00:00:00 host 000 S root 19498 19376 0 76 0 - 213 pipe_w 14:35 pts/0 00:00:00 grep host -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I could not kill the above processes with Sig TERM. They finally died when I killed using sig KILL (kill -9). This seems repeatable. Please email or call if I can help nail it down further. version info: #rpm -qf /usr/bin/host bind-utils-9.2.1-1.7x.2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bind-utils-9.2.1-1.7x.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.at prompt, type /usr/bin/host <cr> 2.see usage: info 3.prompt does not come back 4. ps -efl |grep host to look for processes Actual Results: process hang, no prompt in terminal program Expected Results: should have a prompt if process returned correctly Additional info: see description above
