Basically, we've had loops dieing when backgrounded programs exit. This is the simplest test case I can come up with: #!/bin/dash { echo foo sleep 1 echo foo echo done>/dev/tty } | while read p; do ( echo good & ) & done echo done In versions prior to 3800d4934391b, the output would "good\ndone\ndone\ngood" (or some permutation thereof depending on system load), but from 3800d4934391b on, it's "good\ndone".This should be fixed by the patch that I posted yesterday.
I should have mentioned that I tested it with every revision upto and including that one (especially as it looked promising).
I definitely still have this problem as of 207e4c2a322fe: [JOBS] Fix wait regression where it does not wait for all jobs master
