Fix a fork bomb when vi is run from a script and sent Ctrl-Z (#73)
This bug was reported on the old mailing list:
https://www.mail-archive.com/ast-developers@lists.research.att.com/msg00207.html
A fork bomb can occur when SIGTSTP is sent to the vi editor. Vi
must be launched from a script run with exec (tested with
BusyBox vi, nvi and vim):
$ cat /tmp/foo
vi /tmp/bar
echo end
$ ksh
$ chmod +x /tmp/foo
$ exec /tmp/foo
While in vi, send SIGTSTP using Ctrl-Z
src/cmd/ksh93/sh/fault.c:
- Only fork after Ctrl-Z if job control is available. The patch
used checks 'job.jobcontrol' instead of 'SH_MONITOR':
