Summary: Need patch for endless memory allocation loop for
"$(exec no_such_program > real_file)"
Product: ksh93-integration
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: Solaris 11/Nevada
Status: NEW
Severity: blocker
Priority: P1
Component: App/ksh93
AssignedTo: ksh93-integration-discuss at opensolaris.org
ReportedBy: roland.mainz at nrubsig.org
CC: roland.mainz at nrubsig.org, april.chin at sun.com
[WARNING: Don't try this with your server (otherwise the admins will chase you

hardware - which means it won't stop at the 4GB barrier) ...)]
The following program causes an endless memory allocation loop:
$ print -- $(exec no_such_program > real_file)
("no_such_program" does not need to exist and if "real_file" is not /dev/null
then this file will grow indefinitly).
We need an urgend fix for the issue (hence the P1 priority) - patch from dgk
follows...
