Well, I shouldn't say that probably, but some affected servers are still running on 3.0 or 3.2 kernels. Only the rest of the system was upgraded (mostly "glsa-check -f affected" only). So, I suspected an issue because of old kernel but new user space tools. But since some time ago my desktop machines are also affected (and those are almost bleeding edge, with ~amd64 gentoo-sources). So, more likely it's something in bash... Which is what I use. Which shell do you use? I could try using zsh tho I absolutely hate how it tries to be smarter about tab-completion and always steals trailing "/" away - which especially with rsync and mv can do some serious damage or at least unexpected results. -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.
