[comp.unix.aix] Esoteric bug in 'rm'

rick@ulticorp.UUCP (rick/1024000) (08/07/90)

People might be interested in an esoteric bug in 'rm' on 
IBM's AIX 2 and AIX 3,( ie IBM RT AND IBM RS6000 ).

The following command does not remove files as expected.
	rm -r ../directory 

However,
	cd ..
	rm -r directory 
removes both files and directories, as expected.

Why do they have to change something that already works??????
