Yes, we know that bash's built-in echo does not conform to POSIX

If I run filelight like so, I get an error message that's
not on stdout or sterr:

And, there are many more messages on stdout and stderr:

A lot of these disagreements about bug or wishlist are really
disagreements about whose perspective to adopt.
From the maintainer's perspective, it's a bug if the program
disagrees with RFCs or it's documentation.
From the user's perspective, it's a bug if the program

The man page for esdrec is not helpful to the novice user.
For one thing, it doesn't explain what the flags mean.

solved by making sure that logrotate doesn't

When you sort a bibtex database with bibtool,
bibtool does not keep cross-referenced entries

This causes bibtex to later complain bitterly,

I run xfce4, with a 4x1 desktop.As the gliders fly, they erase
the root window, allowing me to see windows on my other desktops.
Eventually, most of the root window is erased, and I can see all
my desktops simultaneously.
