No, seriously: I discovered a MAJOR BUG (and I mean BIG) in the version of
'strip' I have on my 3B1. Here follows a script:
% cat hello.c
main()
{
extern void exit();
exit(puts("Hello world!"));
/* NOTREACHED */
}
% cc -o hello hello.c
% ./hello
Hello world!
% chmod -w hello
% ls -l hello
-r-xr-xr-x 1 gertjan users 9701 Oct 11 15:09 hello
% strip hello
strip: hello: cannot write, cannot strip
% ls -l hello
hello not found
%
How's that for breakfast?
Is it just my version of 'strip' or does everyone's 3B1 come shipped with
this file-eater?
A quick check on three other machines (a Microdutch running System V
Release 2 X/OPEN, a VAX running 4.3 BSD and a PDP-11/73 running ULTRIX-11)
shows that the problem is probably specific to my/the(*) 3B1-strip.
(*) which one is appropriate
Well, have fun...

Ok, I apologise: "I'm sorry." My 3B1 is running 3.5 straight, no ice. Perhaps this bug isn't present in 3.51; look at the following message that arrived in my mailbox: Well, G.J., I just tried this (your posting made me nervous) and it didn't work.... You should have posted the version of UNIX you're using; it may be older than what most people have. I'm running 3.51 with the 3.51a kernel. (The message was sent by Eric H.
