Description of problem: there is bug in 2012-01-01+ ksh hangs when application does some dark magic with file descriptors How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: (set some nice memory ulimit, it eats memory quite fast) ksh -c 'latestver() { rpmdev-vercmp 1 2 >/dev/null; } ; echo $(latestver)' Actual results: hangs Expected results: pass (no output) Additional info: rpm* python scripts do something weird with file descriptors, but ksh still should not hang. I was not able to reproduce this with anything different than rpm* python things.
fixed in ksh-20120229-2.fc17
