My thought process was that it will probably be fixed in the next gawk and bash releases. Then we will need to change the book back.

A test shows a delay of 0.4 SBU on my system for just that delay. Do you want to make the change or shall I? -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2253#comment:5> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
