I think I found what may be a bug in the du program. So far I have only been able to observe this anomaly in my build directory for glibc. The bug is uncovered with the following commands, issued from the base of the build directory: -------------------------------------- # ls -lR | grep '\.op$' | awk '{printf("%s\n", $NF)}' | sort > ls_c_files
# du -a . | grep '\.op$' | awk 'BEGIN {FS="[\/]"} {printf("%s\n", $NF)}' | sort > du_c_files # sdiff -s du_c_files ls_c_files > mcount.op > profil.op > sprofil.op --------------------------------------- Thank you for your time and effort.
