Zsolt Cserna <zsolt.cse...@morganstanley.com> added the comment: You are right, but this bug could be easily avoided by using one of the suggested solutions. In my experience a fix sized buffer (whose size is MAXLPATHLEN - or 1024 if not defined) is usually passed to getcwd and the errno is propagated back to the caller if the result is NULL.
While getcwd() is buggy on solaris I think it's not the correct behavior from python to get to an infinite loop and eat up the memory. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9185> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
