I remember this one :) AFAIK it is (was?) a bug in bash. Are you upgraded to the latest version of bash? if not...then try that first otherwise... install ash ln -sf /bin/ash /bin/sh then sh will link to ash which doesn't have this problem. AFAIR that is the workaround (I have had no probs with it) -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
