ash: eval: avoid leaking memory associated with redirections. Closes 7748
The following constructs result in ever-increasing memory usage:
while true; do { true; } </dev/null; done
while true; do ( true; ) </dev/null; done
For comparison, bash displays static memory usage in both cases.
This has been fixed in dash by commit 2bc6caa. The maintainer
writes:
I have simplified evaltree so that it simply sets the stack mark
unconditionally. This allows us to remove the stack marks in the
functions called by evaltree.
Closes BusyBox bug 7748.
