I considered it but, dismissed it as infeasible. Of course, I would be happy to be proved wrong. It might work to use a tool like subterfugue, where you could presumably cause to fail the first write after the open-.cvspass-for-append. But if you try to fill the disk containing .cvspass so that there's enough room to rewrite that file, but not enough to append a few bytes more, it probably won't be reliable. I guess if you really insist, you might be able to do something reasonably portable with expect and gdb. _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list Bug-cvs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
