Hi, all: I configured with default and installed bash-4.2.45 on AIX 5.3 to my home directory. Each time I logged in, I used 'bash --login' to enter bash.
Accidentally I sent SIGSTOP to the process of bash, then sent SIGCONT. Bash put the message 'There are running jobs' on screen, then forked too many processes that reached the AIX MAXUPROC limit. I tried to kill all the bash processes logged in as root, but without luck. I had to restart the server at the end. I guessed it did something with job control, so re-compiled bash with --disable-job-control. This time bash logged out normally. Seems like bash tries to spawn a logout child process when received a SIGCONT signal and prepared to exit, unfortunately logout child process forked another children and etc. ok, that's only my guess, and somehow it does not have the same problem on Linux. my bash vesion: bash --version GNU bash, version 4.2.45(1)-release (powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0)
