Package: bash Version: 4.3-7 Severity: important Since upgrading to the 4.3 series, bash crashes quite frequently, always right after I hit "enter" on a command and before running the command. Usually such crashes just result in a closed terminal tab, making it difficult to investigate them, but today I got a crash on a remote system that just ended the SSH session, so I have the output from the crashing shell:
malloc: unknown:0: assertion botched free: called with unallocated block argument "unknown:0" doesn't seem particularly useful, sadly. But this does suggest an incorrect free (either a double-free or a free of non-malloc memory) somewhere on the command execution path. I've seen crashes with commands as simple as "ls", so the crash doesn't require pipes, redirection, history expansion, variable expansion, builtins, or similar. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bash depends on: ii base-files 7.3 ii dash 0.5.7-4 ii debianutils 4.4 ii libc6 2.18-5 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140118-1 Versions of packages bash recommends: ii bash-completion 1:2.1-4 Versions of packages bash suggests: pn bash-doc <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
