>Description:
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.
