All true, but there are a couple of other factors. First, the bug will bite programs other than 'ls'. Second, the misbehavior is a small one and doesn't really hurt anything. It's almost ideally small: just large enough to be noticeable so that Apple might actually fix the bug, but not so large that people can't get their work done. Long ago I regularly used terminal emulators that mishandled tabs. Eventually they got fixed (or I stopped using them....). _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
