01/23 Event text meaning the date, 01 (January), day of month (23rd). If instead one puts extraneous text in the date field, calendar core dumps, e.g. 01/23/2012 Event text for the year 2012 Previous versions of calendar(1) did not have this behavior (I don't know the exact version of the change, but definitely calendar(1) from FreeBSD 5.1 did not have this problem -- it just ignores text after the day subfield. >How-To-Repeat: $ cat > calendar 8/23 hello there ^D $ calendar Aug 23 hello there $ cat > calendar 8/23/2012 hello there core file ^D $ calendar Segmentation fault (core dumped) $ >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
