                             BASH PATCH REPORT
                             =================

Bash-Release: 3.1
Patch-ID: bash31-009

Bug-Reported-by: Joshua Neuheisel <address@hidden>

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2006-01/msg00062.html

Bug-Description:

Under some circumstances, background (asynchronous) jobs can set the terminal
process group incorrectly.  This can cause a foreground process (including
the foreground shell) to get read errors and exit.

Patch:
