I am not sure if this is a bug, but this is a very strange behaviour and I can't reproduce it with other shell.


>How-To-Repeat:
In an xterm (or a konsole, gnome-terminal, etc)  promp, just enter the 
folowing command
% exec sort

and after kill it with ctrl+c. The whole shell (and the xterm) is killed.

Another thing :

- open 2 xterm (two different window)
- in one console
% exec sort
- int the other, enter
% ps fux | grep sort | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

this will also kill the first window

This seems related to bash, since in tclsh and in ksh, the ctrl+c just kill the sort process (not the shell/xterm).

This seems not specific to netbsd, since I had see the same behaviour on my red-hat box at work (rh 7.2), so maybe a copy of this bug report should be sended to upstream maintainer.
