What $PID is bash running as ? Martin's comments on this are seem most relevant. Can you build your own (2 pages of code) init process, that does something along the lines of * gracefully handles SIGCHLD * forks * executes bash * waits for bash to exit much like the patch does So bash is not running a pid 1. While nash is expected to run as init, bash is not, so fixing bash might also break it (its a complex beast). -- Darryl L. Miles
