[comp.unix.aux] Interesting bug in A/UX toolbox

clt@pur-phy (Carrick Talmadge) (07/14/88)

Here is any interesting bug/feature I've just turned up on the Mac II
runing A/UX:

Running a program which uses the Macintosh toolbox under A/UX in a
directory which has a subdirectory named "System" will cause the
program to crash on startup (usually in InitWindows() actually).  What
appears to be happening is that the toolbox mistakes the directory
named "System" with the system resource file, and attempts to open it
as such.  The problem occurs in A/UX version 1.0

[This one took a while to track down.]
