BASH PATCH REPORT ================= Bash-Release: 3.2 Patch-ID: bash32-015 Bug-Reported-by: Bug-Reference-ID: Bug-Reference-URL: Bug-Description: Under certain circumstances, when using FIFOs for process substitution, bash fails to unlink the FIFOs. This leaves open file descriptors that can cause the shell to hang and litters the file system.
