I just tested on OpenBSD 4.7, FreeBSD 8.1, and MirBSD 10; that reports failure for all three of those distros. However, it also reports failure for dash 0.5.5.1 and latest dash.git, as well as pdksh. So the bug is pretty much inherited by all ash derivatives. It passes on bash, zsh, Solaris /bin/sh, and ksh93. > I don't see how this behavior can be defended as "not a bug", > but we don't have to resolve that issue right now; all we have > to do is to fix the tests so that they don't incorrectly report > a bug in tar when this (ahem) "situation" arises with the shell. Additionally, Autoconf should probably document this bug. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
