Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 42
Release Status: release

Description:
The read builtin disregards (or sporadically uses unpredictable value of)
the IFS variable when is interrupted by a trapped signal.

Repeat-By:
- install a trap for a signal, say SIGALRM or SIGUSR1
- cycle read from a process with a custom IFS to split read string into variables
- each interrupted read will return the string splitted in wrong way

Attached script demonstrates the bug.

Thank you in advance.

With best regards,
