[also, why can't I execute a character special file?] In 4.2bsd, lseek() on a pipe seems to return EINVAL instead of ESPIPE. This breaks things like echo abcde | tail +3c Fortunately, it looks like a simple fix - change one word in ufp_syscalls.c. Does anybody have any arguments AGAINST fixing it this way? -- Col. G. L.
