[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55029] pause causes hang

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #45, bug #55029 (project octave):

Has anyone else with Debian testing or with Ubuntu 18.10 (both with glibc
2.28) tried this yet?

Just glancing at the glibc 2.28 NEWS, I have no idea if this is related, but:


* All stdio functions now treat end-of-file as a sticky condition.  If you
  read from a file until EOF, and then the file is enlarged by another
  process, you must call clearerr or another function with the same effect
  (e.g. fseek, rewind) before you can read the additional data.  This
  corrects a longstanding C99 conformance bug.  It is most likely to affect
  programs that use stdio to read interactive input from a terminal.
  (Bug #1190.)


maybe?

Fedora 28 has glibc 2.27 and Fedora 29 (released October 2018) has glibc 2.28.
