im using grml-etc-core on a bit outdated debian box. and when executing the following cpu goes to 100% and i have to kill -9 zsh.
for i in 1 2 3; do zsh: parse error
i think it came up when i upgraded grml-etc-core to unstable. which version is in stable?
% acp grml-etc-core grml-etc-core: Installed: 0.3.56 Candidate: 0.3.56 Version table: *** 0.3.56 0 996 http://deb.grml.org grml-testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.3.49 0 996 http://deb.grml.org grml-stable/main Packages
$ apt-cache policy grml-etc-core zsh grml-etc-core: Installed: 0.3.56 Candidate: 0.3.56 Version Table: *** 0.3.56 0 500 http://deb.grml.org grml-testing/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Why do you use grml-testing without using grml-stable as well? :)
zsh: Installed: 4.2.5-7 Candidate: 4.2.5-7 Version Table: 4.3.2-13bpo1 0 200 http://www.backports.org sarge-backports/main Packages *** 4.2.5-7 0 500 http://ftp.at.debian.org sarge/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Ah, pretty old box. :)
I can't reproduce the problem with zsh 4.3.6 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) and latest grml-etc-core.
Does it happen with 'zsh -f' as well?
Can you please try to downgrade to an older grml-etc-core version so we can locate the problem easier?
If you have mercurial (hg) and Debian's build stuff available you can build all the different versions on your own:
hg clone http://hg.grml.org/grml-etc-core cd grml-etc-core hg up $VERSION # where VERSION is just a tag in hg, just use the # grml-etc-core version you'd like to get debuild -us -uc
If that's not an option for you let me know and we will provide different debian packages for you.
@Frank: do you have any idea where this might come from?
