BTW: This patch fixes problems with /dev/fd on Solaris, too (there were some issues with older, unpatched Solaris 9+10 releases where "cd" using a relative path to a fd can hit kernel bugs in the /dev/fd-filesystem if the physical filesystem is NFS. The patch avoids these bugs by avoiding the use of the /dev/fd-fileystem for directories and just use |openat()| and the fd number from the path). ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.ma...@nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ ast-developers mailing list ast-developers@research.att.com https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-developers
