You people are being unbelievably pedantic. I know I'm not supposed to fclose() an already-closed stream, or one that failed to fopen(). If I try that, I _expect_ unpredictable behaviour! However, when I read the manpage, I found it quite unclear. If I didn't know better, I would think that double-fclose()ing a file was okay. The bug is not in libc, it's in the manpage. Fix the manpage. Avery -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
