I found a scary thing with fpOpen after using strace: It adds me the flag O_LARGEFILE. Another issue that was not the same as the C code, and now it seems to solve the problem completely was that I opened a device as a non blocking, while the C was blocking. removing the O_NONBLOCK solved the problem completely. And yes strace showed me the EAGAIN flag :( BTW it is a C vs Pascal thingy... Linux and libc are written in C... ;) Thank you all for the help, Ido -- http://ik.homelinux.org/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
