           Summary: USE_PIPES unconditionally set in session.c
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.2p1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: res at qoxp.net


In this commit:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/session.c?rev=1.238;content-type=text%2Fx-cvsweb-markup

... the USE_PIPES code was unconditionally turned on with an explicit
"#define USE_PIPES".  This makes it impossible to turn off via the
normal configuration mechanism (configure.ac).

Actually, it might be a good idea to add a configure option for this
(configure --with-pipes), since there are tradeoffs involved in its
use: the shutdown-read/SIGPIPE behavior verses the problem of some bash
versions reading .bashrc and some not.
