[Bug 1090293] Re: Crash on using exec

 

The original description does not describe a bug. When doing "exec echo
0" in a terminal, the shell's process will be replaced with a process
doing "echo" and after "echo" terminates the terminal also closes. This
behavior is as specified and as intended. That is not a crash.

The second description is very unclear. There is no console output and
"hangs" could mean anything. If this describes a but it is certainly a
different bug because "crash" != "hangs" and there is no process
replacement involved.
