Package: bash
Version: 3.1-4
Severity: normal



Bash segmetation faults with extremely long argument lists instead of
giving normal "too many arguments" message. A way to reproduce (this may
take a while if not using xfs or reiser4):

$ I=0; while ((I<1000000)); do echo abbabaabaa > f_$I.txt; ((I++)); done
$ rm f*
Segmentation fault

Tested on three different machines running about the same Debian testing. Same
happens at least with "ls f*" command.
