Comment 1 for bug 2002044

Good catch!

And thanks for including a reproducer. I didn’t know Linux strace could even do that.

I wonder why this wasn’t caught in so many shells.

In the sense of cross-shell coordination, what errorlevel do you suggest? I have a slight dislike for the small numbers here, but arguments could be held that the large numbers are more likely to have special meaning for the scripts, too.

In fact, interrupting by being unable to read the next part of the script is a rather severe issue. I’m tempted to argue that killing myself with a suitable signal (PIPE? BUS? HUP?) and, if ignored, simulating the corresponding 128+signo exit would be better.
