From: Bob English <lcc.bob@UCLA-LOCUS.ARPA> If you interrupt a command doing backquote expansion, the shell hangs. Does anyone have a ready bug fix for this? For those interested, the c-shell forks before doing backquote expansion. When the command to be executed is not a built-in command, the cshell uses vfork() instead of fork(). When the child does the backquote expansion, it uses the parent's process/job-control data structure, which doesn't get cleaned up when the child exits due to an interrupt. --bob--
