I reported this bug for 0.87, and it is still around in 0.99 so I
thought I'd bring it up again. I am running on a uVaxII with Ultrix
2.0.

bash> set | more
bash> dirs

bash> set | more

The problem: If I try to pipe or redirect the output from any
built-in bash command, then I get exactly nothing as the output
(except, maybe, an EOF). As soon as I do ANY builtin which sends any
amount of output greater than nothing to the TERMINAL, then all pipes
and redirects work properly.
Does anybody else have this problem, or is it something specific to me
(or Ultrix)?

I'm fixing this, although I haven't figured it out exactly. It is
directly related to readline (); if you start the shell with
bash -nolineediting -norc
you won't get this problem.

I have the same problems sometimes (SunOS4, Bash 0.99). I havn't figured out what I do to make it happen, but once it has started I can't make it go away. I have another problem which may be the same: Sometimes when I enter a "for"-loop, I get no output. Then I reenter the command using the arrow-keys and it works as it should. The output from the first loop does not show up (as it does in the other problem above). /Per ____________________________________________________________________________ | Per Foreby -- system manager at School | Email: perf@efd.lth.se | | of Electrical Engineering, Computer | Snail: Tekniska Hogskolan i Lund, | | Science and Engineering Physics, | Box 118, S-221 00 LUND, Sweden | | Lund Institute of Technology, Sweden | Phone: int + 46 46-10 75 98 | |________________________________________|___________________________________|
