Patch Level: 12
Release Status: release

Description:
An alternative version of the memory leak script, for those who blame the buffer from the subshell :)
        It's a lot slower to leak, but it leaks.

Repeat-By:
        f2() { return 1; }
        f1()
        {
            while read -r line; do
                f2
            done < <(
                for ((i=0;i<10;i++)); do
                    printf '%s\n' "$i"
                done
            )
        }
        
        while true; do
                f1
        done
