Ah. So frob the flags on one of them and see if the other one changes too; then restore the original flags. This still isn't perfect, for the same reason that the problem exists: another process with a copy of the same descriptor could be messing around with flags at the same time. But that seems unlikely in the cases where the problem appears. paul _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
