I have to report a very strange bug in fileutils version 4.0:
When I have created some subdirectories (e.g. 1 2 3 4) and do a "mv * 3"
then mv creates even the dir 3 in 3 but coredumps immediately after on
one machine (a newer Alpha Personal Workstation 600au) whereas the same
binary with the same dynamic libc (compared!) does ignore directory 3
correctly (displaying a message it did so) on a older Alpha Station 600
running DU 4.0e with the same patches applied...
The package was compiled after vanilla configure without any warnings or
errors using the DEC C Compiler Version 5.8-011 (Rev. 1091). The bug
wasn't present in version 3.16 of fileutils, although the compiler gave
some warnings (notconstqual) in backupfile.c (line 125 + 128), ln.c
(line 131, 132 + 149 2x) and mv.c (line 360). So I installed mv Version
3.16 instead.
Anyway thanks for providing these utilities for free!
Greetings
Michael
