It happens that getCanonicalPath was fixed on January 4.  Luck
would have it that I was working with code I retreived on January
3.  I had assumed that cvs diff would give me differences between
the head revision and my file, but apparently it gives the differences
between the revision I have checked out and my file ... I haven't
used cvs in two years. :(

Now I've encountered another problem:  Process.destroy() causes
kaffe to exit without a stack trace and without a core file.  The
following simple program never prints "destroyed" on my system
(Debian 2.1, kernel 2.2.1, gcc 2.7.2.3).

public class destroy {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
System.err.println("starting process");
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("sleep 5");
System.err.println("started process, destroying");
p.destroy();
System.err.println("destroyed process");
} catch (Throwable t) { t.printStackTrace(); }
}
}

I haven't tried running in gdb yet.

Another question:  Is it safe to use gcc 2.95?
http://www.kaffe.org/trouble.html says egcs is not ok, but that's
dated 4/99, and I've read about experimental gcj support which
obviously would require egcs.  I ask because I've tried very briefly
to compile and run kaffe on Solaris and Suse systems and egcs with
bad results.

 Fixed now, thanks.

BTW, waitpid doesn't load pid either :-(

Okay, I will fix that too, but I have to check KWAITPID() also.  For
exemple in unix-jthread(), it loop on error (with a comment) but on
BeOS, it return the error :(

I will look that this WE.

 Thanks, fixed!

Argh, please unfix.  I'm an idiot ... the behavior of getAbsolutePath()
is correct, only getCanonicalPath() is incorrect.  I'll post a real
fix tonight, after I've tested more thoroughly.

I must learn not to:
* think code is finished before writing unit tests
* think code is fixed if it fixes my particular problem
* watch over a locksmith fixing my front door while debugging (really)

Sorry about that.
