These seem to go hand in hand! :-) Using Ultrix 4.1. Latest that I found today: I left the '-' off a flag viz. rdate v instead of rdate -v and lo and behold, segmentation fault (core dump) Others I have noticed (and may have mentioned before): man -s (where the 's' was chosen randomely; yeah, I know it does nothing, but should not give segmentation fault). echo test | xargs -i -t /bin/ls -al ./\{\} id (if there is no entry for your GID in the /etc/group file) Did I hear someone mention QC? :-) -Stuart Kemp -- Dept of Computer Science Internet: cpsrk@marlin.jcu.edu.au James Cook University Fax: Townsville Australia: (077) 814029 Qld 4811 Int'l : +61-77-814029

It took the support person well over one half hour to reproduce the problem. It was pathetic. I had to walk her through it step by step and she still managed to trash the system she was trying to test it on (creating an account with a gid not in the group file was evidently a major undertaking - for technical reasons)... >-Stuart Kemp > >-- >Dept of Computer Science Internet: cpsrk@marlin.jcu.edu.au >James Cook University Fax: >Townsville Australia: (077) 814029 >Qld 4811 Int'l : +61-77-814029 --- brian@cimage.com
