Hi Jim! Oddly enough, on the SunOS-5.8 system, I ran into problems with using the NFS-mounted NetApp (or whatever the fileserve is), so I used /tmp and got clean test results. I observed some failures under 5.5.1 using a NetApp-based filesystem, so I switched over to /tmp. On that system, /tmp is a tmpfs filesystem. Sorry for missing the warning about using tmpfs. I was using the Solaris C compiler, version 4.2 if memory serves. I'll check tomorrow. - Vin PS. Unfortunately, I do not control the system and thus cannot grant you ssh access to the systems. I'll do what I can to debug the problems, though. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
