I have found two problems. 1 - I have shell function l=() { ls -CF $*; } When i execute it, and when it terminates i got infinite number of error message Wait: No child process. If i use it with pipe like l | less . it works fine. 2 - When i am running bash in xterm window i have problems with ls listings . The xterm works , i have used in many months with sh and gnu emacs and other programs. The problem is that i am losing randomly lines !!. The problem can be in Interactive systems X11.3 xterm also, but only program that have this problem is bash. This is actual output from other x-term window. digiw $ls -l total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 petri digiw 356 Aug 11 16:52 Bash_profile -rw-r--r-- 1 petri digiw 2150 Aug 11 16:52 Bashrc -rw-r--r-- 1 petri digiw 597 Aug 11 16:53 csh-compat digiw $ls -l total 8 digiw $ls -l total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 petri digiw 356 Aug 11 16:52 Bash_profile digiw $ I have used patches from gnu.bash.bug for system V. If there is others that are portting bash for 386/ix, please tell your succestions with it. I have not yet analyzed these problems deeply, but if they are only 386/ix specific and unknown before this, i can meke more work to finding out the actual problem.
