ksh-20120801-10 list size bug
Issue
When updating from ksh-20100621-19.el6_4.4 we find that ksh hangs trying to parse long lists like the following (assuming you have a lot of RPMs installed):
#!/bin/ksh
for x in `rpm -qa 2>/dev/null`
do
echo $x
done
Using a variable does not work around the issue either:
#!/bin/ksh
RPM_LIST=”`rpm -qa 2>/dev/null`”
for x in $RPM_LIST
do
echo $x
done
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4
