Hi, I noticed the upstream maintainer of epic talking about a bug in linux's writev, saying that it was not reliable. This is a pretty incomplete request, as I have no kernel versions, libc versions, or anything else of value, but maybe someone has heard of it?
To quote: ---- The change specifically had to deal with my use of writev() in wserv.c. After working this out with a few linux users, it ends up that writev() was not sending everything I was asking it to send (while other systems like solaris and 4.4BSD were doing the right thing). Since i dont have linux source code, (is there *anywhere* on the internet where you can find untarred linux source code suitable for perusing via ftp?) i just had to determine that there was something wrong with writev() on linux and switched to using sprintf() to generate the output. ---- Thanks, -- David Welton http://www.efn.org/~davidw Debian GNU/Linux - www.debian.org -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
