i have bash-1.03 running in UInteractive systems 386/ix ver 2.02
that is System V 3.2 in 386 . I have found two problems.
1 - I have shell function
l=() {
ls -CF $*;
}
When i execute it, and when it terminates i got infinite number of
error message Wait: No child process. If i use it with pipe
like l | less . it works fine.
2 - When i am running bash in xterm window i have problems with ls
listings . The xterm works , i have used in many months with
sh and gnu emacs and other programs. The problem is that i am losing
randomly lines !!.
The problem can be in Interactive systems X11.3 xterm also, but only
program that have this problem is bash.
This is actual output from other x-term window.

I have used patches from gnu.bash.bug for system V.
If there is others that are portting bash for 386/ix,
please tell your succestions with it. I have not yet analyzed
these problems deeply, but if they are only 386/ix specific
and unknown before this, i can meke more work to finding out the actual
problem.
