[comp.unix.ultrix] pmax ultrix 3.0 rcp bug

rusty@GARNET.BERKELEY.EDU (08/04/89)

Does anybody know if the rcp bug in Ultrix 3.0 on the DS3100 where
when you do an rcp between two remote machines it comes back with
"Segmentation fault" (but doesn't core dump)?  Here's an example of
what I mean:

machine1% rcp machine2:file machine3:file

Anybody try this?  It works fine on VAX architecture...

Where	a=uVAX II
	b=3100
	c=3100
On system a
	rcp b:file c:file
works OK
On system b
	rcp a:file c:file
	rcp c:file a:file
	rcp c:file b:file
	rcp b:file c:file
all fail with Segmentation fault
but
	rcp c:file .
	rcp file b:
both work OK

Thank goodness we never use that command!
