[comp.os.minix] ST 1.5.0 ls-info etc.

viljanen@cs.Helsinki.FI (Lea Viljanen) (02/06/90)

I just finished compiling the ST 1.5.0 (more or less) succesfully.
I found out (like many others) that one of the programs not
working is ls.

I did some digging and I found out that ls has problems handling
directories. For example "ls a*" works OK until it meets a 
directory starting with a. Then it crashes somewhere around 
fflush(stdout). "ls *" and "ls" fail always, this may be related.

I hadn't the time for more detective work, hope this helps someone.

P.S I didn't notice anyone complaining that su (both old and new)
    doesn't work, am I the only one suffering from this problem?
    (Many other programs may or may not work, I haven't had the time
    to test them all).

The problem with 'ls' not working is the file 'dirent.h' not
having the modifications described a few weeks ago.
