[Chanho Park]

I'd like to know any progress from the qemu community. I feel like it
would be long journey to address this problem.

Title:
  bash crashes in qemu-user environments (bionic)

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in bash package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Attempts to launch bash in an arm64 qemu-user environment in bionic
  results in the following error message:

  bash: xmalloc: .././shell.c:1709: cannot allocate 10 bytes (0 bytes
  allocated)

  This causes any qemu/chroot based bootstrapping to fail as many
  packages invoke bash during postinst.

  Version: bash_4.4.18-1ubuntu1_arm64
  Release: 18.04 pre-release

  QEMU: 2.8.0

  This appears to have been reported and fixed in the corresponding
  Debian package (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=889869)
