Re: CVS head bash problem

I just tried a simple test, created about 100 lines of text, all of them
"cat hhhh". Then copied them into the clipboard and pasted them into an
NT shell running bash. I've appended the important part of the output.
At the end of this, bash is dead (still shows up in ms-task manager,
but doesn't respond to anything (including ^C). I was able to reproduce
this in rxvt as well but it took much longer, and ^C sort-of worked.
After the ^C, I got back to a prompt, but then I tried to run "ps" and
rxvt immediately exited. I have been unable to reproduce using strace.
Now that I know about the rxvt paste problem, i went back to working on
the NT-console. I can't produce any 'lock-ups' there. Only some very
confusing output. It seems that when it decides to run a process in the
background, it will still read part of the next line before the
background process steals stdin.
