Well, the code sample I submitted in my original email doesn't set any UID. It just creates a tmpfile() and then verifies that it succeeded. This is definitely a regression from 4.7 though. Running the same code on 4.7 succeeds, as it does on several other unix boxes. Anoop To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
