			     BASH PATCH REPORT
			     =================

Bash-Release:	5.0
Patch-ID:	bash50-004

Bug-Reported-by:	Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>
Bug-Reference-ID:	<87lg0g8aiw.fsf@fifthhorseman.net>

Bug-Description:

In bash-5.0, the `wait' builtin without arguments waits for all children of the
shell. This includes children it `inherited' at shell invocation time. This
patch modifies the behavior to not wait for these inherited children, some
of which might be long-lived.

Patch (apply with `patch -p0'):
