command-not-found: non-installed command in background: bash sometimes exits
 

Package: command-not-found
Version: 0.2.17ubuntu1
Severity: important

Neither xine-ui nor advi is installed.

The following commands sometimes make bash exit:

advi foo&
advi new-calculus.dvi &
xine foo&

I sometimes have to repeat them a few times (8-10 times) before the
bug appears, but sometimes it is really "start bash, run the command,
bash exits" on first try.

An strace suggests that as far as bash is concerned, it is a clean
exit, it writes to ~/.bash_history and all that.

By contrast, these commands seem to never make bash exit:

advi foo
advi new-calculus.dvi
xine foo
advi&
xine&

So it seems to be the combination of backgrounding and passing an
argument that triggers the bug, along with some race condition or
something like that.


Here is the end of an strace catching the problem; "foo " is my prompt ($PS1).
