Bash 1.03 running under Interactive 386IX does funny things when
source'ing files.  If the file contains any external commands,
after the file is sourced (and all commands executed), bash goes
into a loop reporting wait errors.  This loop is the while loop
in wait_for...  (nojobs.c).  I changed the if statement to contain
a break after printing the error as a temporary fix.  Any ideas?

Sample file to source:

echo "Begin"
touch /tmp/foo
/bin/rm -f /tmp/foo
echo "End"

Sample Bash Session:

myprompt% . foo
Begin
End
wait: No child processes
wait: No child processes
wait: No child processes
wait: No child processes
wait: No child processes
.....  Forever .....
