[comp.sys.amiga] Matt's Shell, deadly bug.

tenny@bach.dec.com.UUCP (12/10/86)

I'm not sure what version I have of Matt's shell, (relatively old),
but I wanted to report this bug, and I keep forgetting.
I don't believe I've ever seen it mentioned.

Issueing an incomplete command recall causes the shell to eat memory
until it runs out, and crash the machine. (Fun to watch with GFXMEM running
and 2-1/2 megs or ram to chew, but what a pain to reboot!)

To see if this is still the case in the latest version of 2.03 (or whatever),
type:

Yes, just the exclamation point.
It's it has been fixed, terrific; if not.....

Grateful despite the bug:
