The problem with ``wpbuild'' is that it's a shell script, and as such has trouble detecting AFS outages or bad side-effects of being over quota. The supplied hist/passwd.chg file has, I believe, a single comment, and the makeboth program will insist on writing at least one comment to the output file, as it copies hist/passwd.chg to hist/passwd.outchgZnnn (editing it in the process). I'd suggest that you ran out of disk space or quota or something when you were doing a WP build/rebuild operation, and that the ``zero-length hist/passwd.outchgZnnn'' complaint was the only good way that ``wpbuild'' could tell you so. If this was the problem, then once you have some more working room, you should be able to restart your wpbuild run. Craig
