Ok, I'll ignore it. It is listed 3 times in a total. I've just found there is additional info for each item - there is written this file was detected 2x for process sh.exe and once for rm.exe. My build has failed later on so I thought it is consequence of this issue. I'll describe my problem in a separate thread. Thanks, Jan PS: Please don't generate exploits during configuration anymore ;-) PS2: This message was mistakenly sent directly to Glynn. Sorry. _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
