how to replicate: 1) set the environment variable SHELL=/bin/tcsh 2) gdb /usr/bin/true 3) (gdb) run
a ktrace of the offending process reveals the following: [...] 2203 tcsh CALL fork 2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART 2203 tcsh CALL fork 2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART 2203 tcsh CALL fork 2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART 2203 tcsh CALL fork 2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART 2203 tcsh CALL fork 2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART 2203 tcsh CALL fork 2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART 2203 tcsh CALL fork 2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART 2203 tcsh CALL fork 2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART [...] This is on a recent HEAD. I'll try to chase this but any help would be appreciated. :) Cheers, Nuno
