After the message is shown, things seem to run >ok, but bash does eat up the CPU until the message is printed The suggested workaround until the problem will be fixed wasthe following: >Set the "notify" option in BASH (i.e., issue the command "set -o >notify"). That way BASH prints jobs status changes when they occur, >instead of waiting for the next time it prints a prompt. Ok, i have added to my .bashrc "set -o notify" but nothing happens, means the problem still remains. Any ideas? In which version of bash this bug will be fixed?
