init=/bin/bash

[Kacper Kornet]

When I run my kernel 2.4.29 with the parameter init=/bin/bash, bash hangs
after executing of the first command. I think, that problem is the presence
of WCONTINUED in the arguments of waitpid in function waitchld. The patch
bash-WCONTINUED.patch is supposed to correct it but does not work in this
situation (I don't  know why). I have mananged to correct this problem with
the following patch:

#v+
--- jobs.c.old	2005-04-09 18:30:27.000000000 +0200
+++ jobs.c	2005-04-09 16:43:34.000000000 +0200

+#define WCONTINUED 0

 /* The number of additional slots to allocate when we run out. */

#v-

But maybe someone knows a better solution. If not, maybe it would be a good
idea to add the above patch to CVS.

Best wishes,
