That's not a very good analogy - the source is a kernel object. A better example would be: linux-2.6.24-rc8: echo foo > /tmp/1 echo bar > /tmp/2 echo foo > /tmp/1 linux-2.6.24: echo foo > /tmp/1 echo bar > /tmp/2 echo foo > /tmp/1 sh: cannot write /tmp/1: Inalid argument But whatever. It used to work. People's scripts will break.
