True. Neither mv nor rm exit immediately when they encounter that error (which was due to the just-fixed bug). That is by design. It also happens to be the POSIX-specified behavior. If you're really concerned about this, you should reorganize so that you don't have thousands of command line arguments. > With this fix, > this message shouldn't happen again but maybe it means that mv does > not properly check the files and directories it opens. You should study the code and the patch carefully before making such baseless statements. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
