This is a simplified fragment from innwatch, part of innd.
#! /bin/sh
set -x
while { sleep 1 & wait ; } ; do
exec 0<foo
while read line ; do
i=1
done
done
This is foo, the input file.
!!! df -i . | awk 'NR == 2 { print $3 }' ! lt ! 200 ! throttle ! No space (spool inodes)
This will `Memory fault' on the fifth iteration:
while { sleep 1 & wait ; } ; do
...
It appears that { anything & wait ; } is a problem.
Fails on -current, -stable, and 1.1.5.1. Works with bash and
-current, SunOS 4.0, Irix 5.3
