Subject: Bug(?) in builtin r
Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:52:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2d460de70807240752ge3b0a5qbfa640585c101c35@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I am sure most of you are aware of this, but it has always
ailed me and should probably be changed.
If you have 100 commands on your stack and call

  r 101

it will recurse endlessly or as long as the box allows it to
do until killing it. Unless there are useful aspects to this
behaviour, it is basically a nice way to kill your shell.


Thoughts?
Richard
