The format string supplied to error() in the code below has three "%s"
formats, but only receives two arguments. This triggered a core dump
under Solaris 7.
This code is from copy_internal() in src/copy.c around line 606 in
fileutils-4.0.
/* Avoid damaging the destination filesystem by refusing to preserve
hard-linked directories (which are found at least in Netapp snapshot
directories). */
if (S_ISDIR (src_type))
{
error (0, 0, _("%s: won't create hard link `%s' to directory `%s'"),
dst_path, earlier_file);
goto un_backup;
}
Info the texinfo manual tells me to include:
Version number: fileutils 4.0
Machine architecture: sparc
Repeat by:
$ touch a b c
$ mkdir d
$ mv a b d c d
mv: d/d/a: won't create hard link `d/d' to directory `Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
I expected an error message, not half an error message and a core
dump. (Actually, the "repeat by" is a simplification of what I did
type. I didn't expect an error message, but I did deserve one for
giving such a stupid command. Maybe I even deserved to get a core
dump. :-)
