[gnu.bash.bug] bash1.03 crashing on CTRL-C

robi@attila.esa.oz.au (RoBeRt KaRp) (09/18/89)

Quite simply, it crashes on a ^C, segmentation faults ! bash-1.01
didn't do this. I did apply those vi additions which came along
a short while ago, maybe something to do with that. For the
sake of background, It's on an Apollo 3000 (blah), so I defined
the TARGET in the Makefile to be SUN3 (worked for 1.01).

All I want is for ^C to be the interrupt character. The other
strange thing is that on a ^G it seems to backup onto my prompt,
although it could be the Apollo.

While we're here, I have already mentioned this to Brian Fox, but
in an xterm, only occasionally, when I do a "resize" I get an
"Apollo specific fault" which is from their version of <sys/signal.h>

Any one got ideas for any of the above ?


Note: This is my second posting, the first never made it. Since
then, I've found the error in a call to the ioctl function in
readline.c in the function rl_restart_output(). That is, it
never returns from ioctl().
