Re: Odd behaviour on Bash 2.04 and 2.05

OK, how do you propose doing this without getting in the way of developers
doing real work?  Is it really worth the effort?

What a stupid claim.  You obviously haven't tried.  (I tried recently on
Solaris and SunBSD, and read results about OpenBSD and NetBSD, i haven't
tried several other commercial systems, as i am not the only one working
on them, i could imagine several of them going down, others not).

But in fact, it doesn't really matter anyway.  It's sort of a local
DenialOfService and you should take measures against such *in general*,
in case.
