Thanks for the report. This will be fixed in the next devel branch push.

I had a much more complex function, but I could reduce it down to this minimal (non-)working example:

    function f(){ foovar='bar'; time sleep 10s | cat; }

Now, when I call `f` and press Ctrl+C while it still is running (before 10s are over), bash closes or crashes, I don't know. It's very obnoxious. I tested it in one of the virtual terminals (Ctrl+Alt+F1)

I use bash 4.4.12(1). When removing the time command or the variable definition or the pipe, then the problem disappears. Only this combination of these three things seem to cause the problem, bug?

So I tried this in `gdb --args bash -v` and got:

    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
    0x00000000004c8f86 in ?? ()
    (gdb) bt
    #0  0x00000000004c8f86 in ?? ()

Another correspondence on Stackoverflow said:

    "On my machine it doesn't crash on the Ctrl-C, it crashes if I run it once, Ctrl-C it, then run it again."
