At launch bash generates this assertion in all terminals on my computer. I suspect it's linked to the specific CPU model. In fact, running the very same disk under qemu-kvm with the default CPU, the assertion disappears: qemu-kvm -m 3096M -smp cores=2 -drive file=/dev/sda,format=raw,cache=unsafe,if=virtio -vga virtio -machine usb=on -device usb-tablet -netdev bridge,br=virbr0,id=net1 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net1 and it reappears when passing the host CPU directly: qemu-kvm -cpu host -m 3096M -smp cores=2 -drive file=/dev/sda,format=raw,cache=unsafe,if=virtio -vga virtio -machine usb=on -device usb-tablet -netdev bridge,br=virbr0,id=net1 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net1 My CPU is: vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 16 model : 6 model name : AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 280 Processor stepping : 3 microcode : 0x10000c8 cpu MHz : 3600.000 cache size : 1024 KB physical id : 0 siblings : 2 core id : 0 cpu cores : 2 apicid : 0 initial apicid : 0 fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 5 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt pdpe1gb rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow constant_tsc rep_good nopl nonstop_tsc cpuid extd_apicid pni monitor cx16 popcnt lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy abm sse4a misalignsse 3dnowprefetch osvw ibs skinit wdt nodeid_msr hw_pstate vmmcall npt lbrv svm_lock nrip_save bugs : tlb_mmatch apic_c1e fxsave_leak sysret_ss_attrs null_seg amd_e400 spectre_v1 spectre_v2 bogomips : 7560.31 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 48 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: ts ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps hwpstate The bash version is: ==================== bash-5.2.15-3.fc38.x86_64 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Run bash manually or open a terminal.
