Thanks for that nice test case. I hand to change your "/bin/true" to "sleep 10" to reproduce the situation on Solaris 10. For what it's worth, GNU dd (coreutils 5.94) behaves like Solaris 10 dd here. It does certainly sound like a shortcoming in the POSIX spec, at any rate. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
