I reported a bash hang issue a few months ago. When in bash, after enter ESC 2 4 the prompt looks like this: (arg: 24) Pressing ';' at this point causes bash to hang.
Someone indicated it is a missed degenerate case in Readline. I contacted the GNU Readline maintainer who said he could not duplicate the problem. But he does not use cygwin. Not sure whether this is cygwin specific or not. Thanks. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
