Yep (and mach_port_get_refs creates IIRC), it is a just port. Is the diagnostic appropriate? Not mentioning the dtable would be better, since it is a internal structure in glibc. I haven't had time (or a machine) to test the patch, but I don't see any real reasons why it shouldn't. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
