Here are some test cases to try...
Test 'read' in a loop:
yes | while read f ; do true ; done
Test 'read' in a loop where the variable is mentioned but ignored:
yes | while read f ; do true $f ; done
Test 'read' in a loop where the variable is used, albeit thrown away (I am
running this one right now):
yes | while read f ; do echo $f > /dev/null ; done
Test 'read' in a loop where the variable is used for an external program
(this could hurt a poorly limited system, so use caution):
yes | while read f ; do /bin/echo $f > /dev/null ; done
