Package: bash
Version: 3.0-15
Bash has a nasty memoryleak that manifested itself when i upgraded from
2.05b-24 to 3.0-15.
I have a small demonstration script that leaks.
#!/bin/sh
while /bin/true
do
for dir in *
do
test -d $dir || continue
cd $dir
set -- *.req
cd ../
done
done
The malloc() is called when set -- *.req is invoked, only it is not
free()-ed. For some reason the directory traversal seems necessary.
With kind regards,
SunDevil
