OS : SunOS Release 4.0.3c Compiler : gcc 1.35.98 Bug: Logging in on the console, with bash as your login shell causes the machine to print panic: chgstropts: can't allocate stropts message. and it then reboots, IFF you are the first user to log in since the machine has been rebooted. Rebooting the machine, logging in as a user with a different shell (either csh or tcsh) and then logging out will prevent this. Reproduce by: Reboot the system, then immediately log in as a user who has bash as the login shell. The systems should panic as indicated above. Thanks, John Self self@ics.uci.edu
