What were you using before?

Sorry, I was not exactly precise in my wording above.
I was using the same machine and made the build of coreutils without
using the LFS environment. Made it as a replacement of the distribution
coreutils-8.23. So, no LFS environment was used.

Btw, executing '/tools/bin/seq 1 inf | /tools/bin/head -n2' - both
within and outside the LFS environment - also does not terminate seq.
The problem already exist within the Tool Chain (TC).
I will check again every command needed to build the TC. Maybe there is
something wrong there. That - of course - might take some time.
Frans.
Maybe it is just my system.
running 'seq 1 inf | head -n2' yields different results depending upon
the environment. It's expected output is
1
2
and returns to prompt.
Within X, KConsole as normal user: Ok
Within X, Kconsole as root : fail
System console as normal user : fail
System console as root : fail
The above was with coreutils-8.23!!
As such, different behaviors depending upon permissions and/or
environment. Since LFS is a system console environment, it just fails on
my system. Also, the test seq-precision.sh is not available under 8.23,
that's why it works under 8.23.
The new test shell in 8.24 is the only place where the argument 'inf' is
being used!.
So, the problem is also in at least the 64-bit version of 8.23 and maybe
earlier, but was never detected because of the absence of the new test
shell. I see no strange behavior under 32-bit systems.
I will forward this message also to the maintainer of coreutils if the
given behavior is reproduced elsewhere too.
Frans.
