I think I have a clue here: last_component (name=0xbfffd607 "k") at lib/basename-lgpl.c:30 Run till exit from #0 last_component (name=0xbfffd607 "k") at lib/basename-lgpl.c:30 0x000042ac in main (argc=<value temporarily unavailable, due to optimizations>, argv=<value temporarily unavailable, due to optimizations>) at src/mv.c:532 Value returned is $3 = 0xbfffd607 "k" file_name_concat (dir=0xbfffd609 "out", base=0xbfffd607 "k", base_in_result=0xbfffd1b8) at lib/filenamecat.c:37 Run till exit from #0 file_name_concat (dir=0xbfffd609 "out", base=0xbfffd607 "k", base_in_result=0xbfffd1b8) at lib/filenamecat.c:37 0x000042bc in main (argc=<value temporarily unavailable, due to optimizations>, argv=<value temporarily unavailable, due to optimizations>) at src/mv.c:532 Value returned is $4 = 0x4006c0 "out/k" (gdb) step strip_trailing_slashes (file=0x4006c4 "k") at lib/stripslash.c:33 Run till exit from #0 strip_trailing_slashes (file=0x4006c4 "k") at lib/stripslash.c:33 main (argc=<value temporarily unavailable, due to optimizations>, argv=<value temporarily unavailable, due to optimizations>) at src/mv.c:537 Value returned is $5 = false do_move (source=0xbfffd607 "k", dest=0x4006c0 "out/k", dest_dirfd=7, dest_relname=0x4006c4 "k", x=0xbfffd21c) at src/mv.c:175
It looks as if erroneously file_name_concat() is invoked, maybe too early, which seems to be defined in lib/filenamecat.c:35? YES! So I need to find out from where… And maybe why… -- Greetings Pete Don't just do something, sit there.
