The original description does not describe a bug. When doing "exec echo 0" in a terminal, the shell's process will be replaced with a process doing "echo" and after "echo" terminates the terminal also closes. This behavior is as specified and as intended. That is not a crash.
The second description is very unclear. There is no console output and "hangs" could mean anything. If this describes a but it is certainly a different bug because "crash" != "hangs" and there is no process replacement involved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090293 Title: Crash on using exec To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/1090293/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
