Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 33
Release Status: release

Description:

If --noediting is used (e.g. for use with Emacs' shell-mode), and a
program run from bash sets O_NONBLOCK on bash's stdin, bash reads and
executes random garbags until it eventually segfaults.

Repeat-By:

bash --noediting
<any program which leaves the descriptor in non-blocking mode>

Fix:

The attached patch appears to fix the specific problem. However, I'm
still unclear as to how the original problem occurs. It looks as if
the errno != EINTR check should result in a busy-wait.
