I have a script I've run successfully for years on a Win XP system.
I just did a clean install of the whole OS and Cygwin from scratch.
The script makes use of the 'split' utility using a command
along the lines of:
tar -czvfT file - | /usr/bin/split -b 10000 - foo.bar
It formerly produced files in the form foo.bar.xa, foo.bar.xb, and so
forth.
Now it produces files in the form: foo.bar.xaaaaaaa...
Known upstream bug in coreutils 8.8:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2010-12/msg00109.html
and will be fixed soon (either by upstream coreutils 8.9, or by
back-porting that patch into cygwin coreutils-8.8-2).
Ideas?
Adding '-a2' may serve as a decent workaround in the meantime.
Thanks.
The program, however, will not accept -a3, it requires the numeric arg
to be 3 or larger for some inexplicable reason...
