To my dismay, SIGXFSZ is a POSIX-defined signal; and because the "cp" command is specified as having the "Default" behavior with regard to asynchronous events (signals), it will break POSIX to install a signal handler for this by default.
In my opinion, it would be well to diverge from POSIX in this respect, and provide the signal handler by default, except when POSIXLY_CORRECT has been specified. -- cp dumps core when copying >4GB files to a VFAT filesystem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75574 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
