Subject: child time accounting is different from other shells
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2014 14:30:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140910123032.GA19213@xvii.vinc17.org> (raw)

With all shells I could test except zsh,

  time sh -c 'pi 500000 > /dev/null & sleep 2'

where "pi 500000 > /dev/null" lasts for less than 2 seconds
(or replace it with any command that takes CPU time less than
2 seconds), includes the time taken by this child process in
the user/system times, but not with zsh:

xvii% time sh -c 'pi 500000 > /dev/null & sleep 2'
sh -c 'pi 500000 > /dev/null & sleep 2'  1.16s user 0.02s system 58% cpu 2.017 total
xvii% time zsh -c 'pi 500000 > /dev/null & sleep 2'
zsh -c 'pi 500000 > /dev/null & sleep 2'  0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu 2.023 total

Is this a bug? Shouldn't this behavior be changed to make zsh
consistent with the other shells?
