Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 19
Release Status: release

Description:
        Bash fails to exit and shows 100% cpu usage if parent sshd process is 
killed while performing command search.

Repeat-By:

1. ssh to localhost with bash as default shell.
2. In the ssh session press 'ESC -p', this will show ':' on command line.
3. From a different terminal, check parent process id for bash running in ssh 
session by executing 'ps fax'. For e.g. on my machine it is 9825:

9822 ?        Ss     0:00  \_ sshd: situ [priv]
9825 ?        S      0:00      \_ sshd: situ@pts/8
9834 pts/8    Ss+    0:00          \_ -bash

4. Kill the parent process of bash by executing:

kill -hup 9825

5. Bash gets stuck in a loop and shows 100% cpu usage.

Fix:
        See attached patch. Credits to Paulo Andrade <pandrade@redhat.com> for 
finding and fixing the bug.
