RE: Bash returns incorrect process status


(Sorry if this doesn't appear in the right place - I'm still unable to
subscribe to the list and had to bodge a reply.)

I would just like to say that the patch specified in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-09/msg00783.html fixes the problem that I
reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-09/msg00401.html. Obviously, it
wasn't simply the exiting of the background processes that was the problem,
it was the reuse of pids as well.

Given the caveats attached to the patch, I'm hoping that a "proper" version
will eventually be issued in a new release of bash. Will this be the case?
I've noticed that bash doesn't get issued too often.

Regards,
	Tony
