[bug-obsolete-packages] Pipe'ing with brackets and tee hangs

[Frederic Leitenberger]

Hello,

here is a script demonstrating the problem:

#!/bin/bash

echo "WORKING:"
echo "Start 1"
{
       echo "Start 2"
       sleep 100 &
       echo "Done 2"
} > test.log
echo "Done 1"

echo

echo "NOT WORKING (hangs before leaving the '}'):"
echo "Start 3"
{
       echo "Start 4"
       sleep 100 &
       echo "Done 4"
} | tee test.log             # HANGS HERE UNTIL SLEEP FINISHES OR IS KILLED
echo "Done 3"


I tried several variations:
- nohup sleep 100 &
- sleep 100 & > /dev/null
- nohup sleep 100 & ; echo -e "\004"  # EOT


Greetings Freddy;
