On Solaris 8 through 10 (at least), perror says this for ELOOP: Number of symbolic links encountered during path name traversal exceeds MAXSYMLINKS which causes the coreutils tests to fail (at least, this was true as of about 24 hours ago, but I hadn't gotten around to looking into it yet). It could be a System V ism. glibc used to do the same thing, when it supported SunOS. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
