Hi!

I installed 1.5.1 on a Sun Ultra 5 and installed bash-2.05 from
/usr/pkgsrc. Then I started bash and started to type a command.
I made a typo so I pressed ^C before pressing Enter.

Result: bash hangs! Nothing works, no ^Z, no "kill pid" from another
xterm. The only solution is to "kill -9 pid" from another xterm.
Top shows that the bash process is running all the time:

CPU states: 95.3% user,  0.0% nice,  4.7% system,  0.0% interrupt,  0.0% idle
Memory: 9824K Act, 3496K Inact, 360K Wired, 150M Free, 103M Swp free

PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE   RES STATE     TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
21774 martti    58    0  1312K 1320K run       0:51 88.90% 88.62% bash
21772 martti    28    0   280K 1016K onproc    0:11  4.49%  4.49% top

Anyone seen this? Maybe I have to recompile bash so that it has
debugging symbols and attach gdb to the faulty process...
