Bug Description
Running a fresh install of Xubuntu 12.04.1, up-to-date as of yesterday.
I'm following instructions in an online tutorial at http://
With a tiny project (tar attached) and smallest possible configure.ac, running 'autoreconf' as instructed never completes. However, if I run it with stdin redirected from /dev/null, it finishes in 2.6 seconds.
Something very similar happens later with the scripts that get generated, except that they work fine if I run them under bash instead of sh (of course they're the same program).
