Thanks for the report. With what version of coreutils was that? If it wasn't the latest snapshot, please try this: http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.gz 8.8 MB http://meyering.net/cu/coreutils-ss.tar.lzma 3.7 MB If the problem persists, please tell us about your systems and include a syscall trace of the failing command (use strace on Linux, truss on some other systems, ktrace, etc.). _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
