If I try to read, say, 1000 bytes from /dev/drum under Sun O.S. 3.2, the read returns 1024, and 1024 bytes have indeed been read in, overwriting whatever was there. Is this a bug? Neither read(2) nor drum(4) mentions this possibility. -- Richard Tobin, JANET: R.Tobin@uk.ac.ed AI Applications Institute, ARPA: R.Tobin%uk.ac.ed@nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk Edinburgh University.
