Joerg, would you mind helping us, please? Could you send a shell script (Bourne or otherwise) which shows each bug with a single test, please? The test should look similar like out=$(LC_ALL=POSIX od -... 2>&1) [ "$out" == "expected value" ] || echo "you failed, because..." > The most annoying bug was the fact that it was not large file clean because it > did not write address labels that include more than the lower 32 address bits. > This was a sad news in special as Garret claimed that he did a successful full > output compare with a 8 GB file with random content to the closed source Sun > version. > > I provided all details in a more than 3 hour phone call to Garret D'Amore in > November 2010. But you never filed bug reports, do you? It does not HELP if you do not file bug reports or alternatively write a test script which highlights the problems so that others can investigate, discuss and fix the problems. Just citing phone calls between two persons does not help unless there is a recording or someone took notes. Professional attitude, please.
