My broken mailer grunged the examples. I'll append ; to each command so output is more distinguishable, and try again.
This may not be a source package bug. I observed this behavior on a Mandrake 10.1 Official box (coreutils-5.2.1-4mdk.i586.rpm) and tried also Mandrake Cooker (coreutils-5.2.1-5mdk.i586.rpm). A Gentoo user I know reports that id -Gn ; (5.2.1) appears to work as it should. I wonder what might cause the broken behavior to occur? > -----Original Message----- > From: Bulgrien, Kevin > Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 1:30 PM > To: '[email protected]' > Subject: coreutils 5.2.1 bug: id -Gn > > > Here is 5.2.1 behavior.
