When creating $THREADS data it may end of not having 'None' at all
or the numbers in line output yields a loop.
To avoid loop the value in current array index is set to 'None'
so that if the same item is reached again the loop will end.
Also empty string as next array index will end the loop.
while read -a parents; do
references=""
parent=${parents[$n]}
- while [[ $parent != None ]]; do
+ while [[ ${parent:-None} != None ]]; do
references="<m$parent@t$thread> $references"
+ pp=$parent
parent=${parents[$parent]}
+ # Avoid looping over broken input (if ever)
+ parents[$pp]="None"
done
