Hi All...
Cut and paste error...I wanted to say execute
while :; do rm foo; ln -s $$ foo; done
in the first one. The line I used was part of furhter debugging work.

Hi All...
While doing some testing with keychain and the snapshots while getting ready to release a keychain service package (still working on it)...I noticed the following
Sometimes doing a [ -f foo ]; will show a false true while the symlink is being created. You can see this by opening two bash shells and executing
while :; do echo $$> foo.lnk; rm foo.lnk; done
in the first one and
while :; do if [ -f foo ]; then echo here; else echo " there"; fi; done
in the second one.
Thanks,
...Karl
