Congratulations on isolating this bug. I'm sure you had a lot of fun with 125555-06 :) It's a good example why a programmer shouldn't rely on any assumptions - obviously the author of the prepatch script couldn't imagine a root filesystem which isn't named "/". Though of course the output of "df -n" isn't really nicely machine-readable either ..

Good news - the current revision of the "patch behavior patch" (125555-07, from Mar 26) delivers new versions of the pre*/post* scripts, fixing the broken awk code.

Martin.
