• Bug#265554: doesn't handle TERM all that well

    From Joey Hess@1:229/2 to All on Fri Aug 13 20:50:17 2004

    Package: reportbug
    Version: 2.64
    Severity: normal

    If reportbug is sent a TERM signal, and it has launched mutt to edit a
    mail, things get nastily confused. Reportbug exits, the shell begins
    reading from the terminal again, and I'm left with a mutt and a vim that
    are still running, not having gotten the TERM, and are fighting over the terminal with the shell. Reportbug should make sure to propigate TERM to
    its children, or something.

    FWIW, I run reportbug with the optionss -b --no-check-available -x -M --mode=expert.

    (BTW, as I was filing this bug, I saw this:
    Please select tags: (one at a time) [none] /usr/share/reportbug/handle_bugscript: line 61: 3: Bad file descriptor
    Spawning mutt...
    )
