BASH PATCH REPORT ================= Bash-Release: 5.0 Patch-ID: bash50-004 Bug-Reported-by: Daniel Kahn Gillmor Bug-Reference-ID: <87lg0g8aiw.fsf@fifthhorseman.net> Bug-Reference-URL: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2019-04/msg00076.html Bug-Description: In bash-5.0, the `wait' builtin without arguments waits for all children of the shell. This includes children it `inherited' at shell invocation time. This patch modifies the behavior to not wait for these inherited children, some of which might be long-lived.
