how to replicate:
1) set the environment variable SHELL=/bin/tcsh
2) gdb /usr/bin/true
3) (gdb) run
a ktrace of the offending process reveals the following:
[...]
2203 tcsh CALL fork
2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART
2203 tcsh CALL fork
2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART
2203 tcsh CALL fork
2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART
2203 tcsh CALL fork
2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART
2203 tcsh CALL fork
2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART
2203 tcsh CALL fork
2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART
2203 tcsh CALL fork
2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART
2203 tcsh CALL fork
2203 tcsh RET fork RESTART
[...]
This is on a recent HEAD.
I'll try to chase this but any help would be appreciated. :)
Cheers,
Nuno
