Sorry, bad habit... Here's the original message again...
I think I've just found a bug in the way bash is started under KDE. Under
8.0, I added a line to my .bashrc, something like:
CLASSPATH=`mkpath /usr/java/lib/*`:$CLASSPATH
When I upgraded to 8.1beta2, I noticed it was taking a really long time to
login or start a shell (and then I was getting error messages.) What I
found is that several hundred instances of /bin/bash were being created,
until the system ran out of resources to create them. I put a log line at
the start of .bashrc and, sure enough, it was getting processed several
hundred times. When I took the CLASSPATH line out, it only got processed
once.
I suspect what is happening is that the `command evaluation` has been
changed somehow, so that it starts up a new instance of bash that processes
the .bashrc again and since this command is in the .bashrc, it loops until
it crashes...
Before someone says "it's a Feature, not a Bug", note that this does not
happen when logging in from the console, only under KDE...
Hmmm, when I tried to test it under other window managers (Gnome, sawfish,
failsafe) it seems that none of them work, only KDE. Anyone else have this
problem?
