hey, I am quite sure it happens here (devel branch, at 6f82653c5ef09aeeeba4376a1c65ce86c3605c00):
execute_cmd.c +5115: if ((cmdflags & CMD_STDIN_REDIR) && pipe_in == NO_PIPE && (stdin_redirects (redirects) == 0)) async_redirect_stdin (); but after reading the comments some 3.5k lines earlier I am not sure how to fix it; of course commenting out the if in execute_cmd.c:5112-5115 solves it, but who can tell what it breaks? cheers, pg On Sun, Jan 10, 2016 at 8:23 AM, Martin D Kealey <mar...@kurahaupo.gen.nz> wrote: > > Configuration Information [Automatically generated, do not change]: > Machine: x86_64 > OS: linux-gnu > Compiler: gcc > Compilation CFLAGS: -DPROGRAM='bash' -DCONF_HOSTTYPE='x86_64' > -DCONF_OSTYPE='linux-gnu' -DCONF_MACHTYPE='x86_64-pc-linux-gnu' > -DCONF_VENDOR='pc' -DLOCALEDIR='/usr/share/locale' -DPACKAGE='bash' -DSHELL > -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../. -I.././include -I.././lib -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 > -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat > -Werror=format-security -Wall > uname output: Linux treehug.home.kurahaupo.gen.nz 3.13.0-55-generic > #94-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 18 00:27:10 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > Machine Type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu > > Bash Version: 4.3 > Patch Level: 11 > Release Status: release > > Description: > The first backgrounded element within a pipeline component has its > stdin redirected to /dev/null; this does not apply to the second and > subsequent background elements. > > On a Linux system this can be observed with: > echo x | ( ls -ld /proc/self/fd/0 & > ls -ld /proc/self/fd/0 & > wait ) > > On other systems it is apparent simply with: > echo x | ( cat & wait ) > # no output is produced > > Repeat-By: > # this command produces no output: > echo x | ( cat & wait ) > > Fix: > # this is only a work-around: > echo x ( :& cat & wait ) > >
