Package: bash Version: 4.0-2 Severity: normal
I often search through the history to find an old command to paste, followed by pressing ^C (causing SIGINT to be sent). This worked fine in bash versions up to 3, but in version four, this outputs a spurious ^C _directly into the readline text_. e.g. bash 3: cerebro ~# man bash cerebro ~# bash 4: cerebro ~# man b^Ch cerebro ~# This makes it rather hard to go back to look at old commands. I didn't find anything about this in the documentation, nor obviously a way to get sane behaviour (defined by me as "like other shells"). It really is bash that outputs it, as strace'ing it reveals: --- SIGINT (Interrupt) @ 0 (0) --- rt_sigreturn(0x2) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [INT], [], 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 write(2, "^C"..., 2) = 2 -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 5 Debian base system miscellaneous f ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t hi libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand Versions of packages bash recommends: pn bash-completion <none> (no description available) Versions of packages bash suggests: hi bash-doc 3.2-4 Documentation and examples for the -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
