It looks that I have. First of all, ALL version numbers of the tools I used:
GNU find version 4.2.11 (cvs) GNU xargs version 4.2.11 (cvs) glib version 2.6.5 (the bug might also appear with other packages) Assumed I am in ~/devel. In devel, I do a tar jxvf glib-2.6.5.tar.bz2 and end up with a glib-2.6.5/ subdirectory. (The problems building glib are NOT supposed to be discussed in this thread) Now let's look for a specific string: $ find glib-2.6.5 -name '*' | xargs grep -i 'threads_got_initialized' > out1.log Works! out1.log is a few kBytes big, and shows the matches I wanted. Now let's do it a little differently: $ cd glib-2.6.5 $ find . -name '*' | xargs grep -i 'threads_got_initialized' > out2.log ATTENTION. out2.log will grow and grow ... and grew more than 2 GB here, until I got a "No space left on device". $ find . -name '*' | xargs grep -i 'threads_got_initialized' | tee out2.log works, though. Can anyone of you reproduce this behavior? -Andreas _________________________________________________________________________ Mit der Gruppen-SMS von WEB.DE FreeMail können Sie eine SMS an alle Freunde gleichzeitig schicken: http://freemail.web.de/features/?mc=021179 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
