Perhaps you're running an old version of split? "split --version" should tell you. If it's before version 5.0.1 you need to upgrade, to fix that bug. The current version is 5.93. ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.93.tar.gz _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
