I'm a bit worried about doing the following in this patch. It seems to work but I can see ignoring CHLD being problematic for some shells/situations. I'll probably push without the test. --- a/tests/misc/timeout +++ b/tests/misc/timeout @@ -23,6 +23,7 @@ fi . $srcdir/test-lib.sh +trap '' CHLD

[PATCH] sort: fix failure if sort's parent has ignored SIGCHLD

2009-12-08 Thread Pádraig Brady
The same issue as with the previous `timeout` patch. The attached includes at test, but I'll probably remove it because of the previously mentioned concerns. cheers, Pádraig.

$ touch - echo ok ok Not a bug - you successfully touched stdout (in this case, your terminal). Remember, many commands special case - to mean stdin or stdout if they operate well on a single file. $ ls - ls: cannot access -: No such file or directory ls is not one of those commands.
