Thanks, but I found a case that prints two prompts, after a fatal error:
# cat ~/.crashrc
sys config <<-- any command that fails with error(FATAL)
sys
# echo quit | crash
...
2 crash> sys config
sys: kernel_config_data does not exist in this kernel
1 crash> 2 crash> sys
KERNEL: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/4.18.0-305.el8.x86_64/vmlinux
...
where the crash has this:
--- a/cmdline.c
+++ b/cmdline.c
@@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ process_command_line(void)

}
Can we avoid this?
Thanks,
