hi, Here's a test case to make find(1) assertion: mkdir no-such-dir/foo/bar: -p
#this will not assert find no-such-dir/ mkdir no-such-dir/foo/c: -p #this will assert now find no-such-dir/ #this wil not assert cd no-such-dir/foo/; find .; cd - #this `rm' will fail silently rm no-such-dir/ -rf || echo rm failed #this `rm' will fail with `no such file/dir' rm no-such-dir/ -r The `find' assertion is like this: assertion "ent->fts_info == FTS_NSOK || state.type != 0" failed: file "/usr/src/findutils-4.5.4-1/src/findutils-4.5.4/find/ftsfind.c", line 475, function: consider_visiting -- 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/
