Comment (by spinal84):
Hello, Alexander.
As I said before the first patch is compilation of two patches from Fedora
Core 6 src.rpm
The first one is called '''procps-3.1.15-misc.patch''' (that's about fd0)
The second on is called procps-3.2.7-watch-unicode.patch
But the problem was the second patch needed the first one. So I checked
rpm's spec file for occurence of 'watch' and found 2 bugs (the first one
was in procps-3.2.6 so my description was incorrect as this bug was fixed
in procps-3.2.7):
{{{
* Thu Apr 26 2007 Tomas Smetana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3.2.7-9
- fix #183029 - watch ignores multibyte characters
* Thu Jun 1 2006 Karel Zak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -> 3.2.6-4 <-
- fix #191493 - watch -n doesn't handle large integers properly
}}}
So after your message I checked that watch -n 12345678901234 <some
command> works as expected without the first patch and I removed it. But
if you know why watch needs it you are free to apply it. Looking at its
name it comes from ancient version of procps-3.1.15.
I'm attaching original source converted to cpio.
