Hey folks,
Based on a new bug report this morning, I have just discovered two
very long-standing bugs (I think they've been around since early
Razor2 versions).
Bug #1229450: Console "freeze" on unknown option
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1229450&group_id=3978&atid=103978
Bug #1229887: fork()ing for STDIN input when STDIN is a tty "hangs" shell
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1229887&group_id=3978&atid=103978
These two bugs aren't actually related. The first is a pretty
simple fix and has already been addressed in CVS, however it lead
to the discovery of the second -- since razor-* fork by default,
and, with no options, read from STDIN by default, the default case
can result in an unusable shell until the fork'd razor-agent is
killed off. See the bug for more detail.
My question to you all is: you've never reported this before
AFAICT, so how important do you think it is to fix this now,
really?
We just did a release, and right after doing a few others, so if
it's not that important then I'd rather raise the issue as a known
bug and let some time pass before rolling a new tarball. I'm sure
the distribution maintainers are a little annoyed by the short
successions of recent releases..
Best,
