"set -m" stalls shell when run in a new process group
Hello,
I am not sure what the right behavior is here, but I am seeing this with
/bin/sh and /bin/ksh but not bash.
I have a program (atf) that spawns a child process and sets the child
process to run in its own process group. This child process spawns a
shell and the shell script that it runs does "set -m".
At this point, the shell blocks. In the case of /bin/sh, the block
happens at the "killpg(0, SIGTTIN);" line.
What is the expected behavior of this? Are sh and ksh correct in
stalling, or is bash? Is this a bug? (If the latter, I'll be glad to
file a PR and add a test case.)
Thanks.
