Arnold, Scott mentioned in comment 1 that memory consumption eventually
peaks. Does the memory get freed after the loop ends or only once you
close the bash session? What kind of memory consumption do you see for
for j in $(seq 1 10); do echo "Loop $j"; for i in $(seq 1 1000000); do
true ; done; done
In karmic, both invocations give essentially the same result for me.
memory consumption peaks at around 110-120MB. Memory isn't released in
either case until the bash session is close.
Scott, the $() invocation seemed to work fine for you when you
originally reported the issue. Can you please take a look at what is
current status in this regard for you in Jaunty?
FWIW, memory consumption in dash peaks at around 15MB (and the loop
finishes much faster). Memory is released once the loop ends.
Based on this information, I'm resetting back to triaged status, but ask
Scott and Arnold to add the requested information.
BTW, has this ever been reported upstream?
