Machine Type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

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

Description:
	Function reset_alarm() in read.def first resets SIGALRM handler and
	then cancels alarm. Sometimes, SIGALRM comes between those 2 calls and
	crashes (sub)shell.

Repeat-By:
	while sleep 0.00$RANDOM; do echo test; done | while true; do read -t 0.00$RANDOM; echo $REPLY; done
	(usually takes a few seconds to crash, sometimes minutes)

Fix:
	Swap the lines in reset_alarm().
