I can confirm this, but do not understand whats going on. By the way,
when you do rcsdiff and co is in the same directory as the source file
it workks.
I created a debugging version and the difference between successfull and
unsuccessfull runs are, that wstatus=512 when it fails and wstatus=0 otherwise
in the line
if (waitpid(pid, &wstatus, 0) < 0)
in the following code:
#if has_fork
pid_t pid;
if (!(pid = vfork())) {
char const *notfound;
if (infd != -1 && infd != STDIN_FILENO && (
# ifdef F_DUPFD
(VOID close(STDIN_FILENO),
fcntl(infd, F_DUPFD, STDIN_FILENO) != STDIN_FILENO)
# else
dup2(infd, STDIN_FILENO) != STDIN_FILENO
# endif
)) {
/* Avoid perror since it may misuse buffers. */
write_stderr(args[1]);
write_stderr(": I/O redirection failed\n");
_exit(EXIT_TROUBLE);
}
if (outname)
if (fdreopen(
STDOUT_FILENO, outname,
O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY | OPEN_O_BINARY
) < 0) {
/* Avoid perror since it may misuse buffers. */
write_stderr(args[1]);
write_stderr(": ");
write_stderr(outname);
write_stderr(": cannot create\n");
_exit(EXIT_TROUBLE);
}
VOID exec_RCS(args[1], (char**)(args + 1));
notfound = args[1];
# ifdef RCS_SHELL
if (errno == ENOEXEC) {
args[0] = notfound = RCS_SHELL;
VOID execv(args[0], (char**)args);
}
# endif
/* Avoid perror since it may misuse buffers. */
write_stderr(notfound);
write_stderr(": not found\n");
_exit(EXIT_TROUBLE);
}
if (pid < 0)
efaterror("fork");
# if has_waitpid
if (waitpid(pid, &wstatus, 0) < 0)
efaterror("waitpid");
# else
{
pid_t w;
do {
if ((w = wait(&wstatus)) < 0)
efaterror("wait");
} while (w != pid);
}
# endif
#else
static struct buf b;
char const *p;
/* Use system(). On many hosts system() discards signals. Yuck! */
p = args + 1;
bufscpy(&b, *p);
while (*++p)
bufargcat(&b, ' ', *p);
if (infd != -1 && infd != STDIN_FILENO) {
char redirection[32];
