Thank you for your nice bug report. But I cannot recreate the problem with a recent coreutils. Because you are running MS-Win2k I suspect there were bugs in the ported version that you are running. There are a lot of things that need to be mapped to make a MS system behave. It is a very difficult problem. Since we generally use GNU systems we can't help very much. You did not say if you were using a Cygwin version of coreutils. But regardless I suggest you contact the Cygwin folks. They are the experts with the MS systems. http://cygwin.com/ Hope that helps, Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
