It's not a bug. The only guarantee is that the CHLD trap gets run once for each child bash reaps. Bash gets SIGCHLD, reaps as many terminated child processes as it can, then runs the CHLD trap once for each terminated child when it's no longer in a signal handler context. I don't have any plans to change this.
--- Doesn't bash run off an event loop [yet]?... Things like that can be check in the event loop periodically every 100ms or 50ms... (BASH_SIGHANDLER_POLL_INTERVAL)... I found in programs that deal with input and need to deal with other stuff, that I've almost always had to go to some event loop and the resulting code is usually more efficient (xosview seemed to drop about 60-70% cpu usage by going to an event loop where it used to use sleeps and polls)... But depends on the program, as far as benefits, as well as how much work... I only added about 50k lines of C++ code... really a drop in the bucket.. ;-)
