Perhaps the subject line is misleading, since it might not be
cc that is at fault.

I am finishing off upgrading to Minix 1.2.  I've been running with
a 1.2 kernel and compiling the commands.  When compiling the commands
I've had /dev/fd0 mounted on /tmp to give enough space on /tmp to
compile the bigger commands.  When cc chokes during a compile, bad
things happen to the floppy disk file system that was mounted on
/tmp--the cem* files on /tmp don't get removed correctly.  The
inode(s) for the /tmp/cem* files get cleared (count apparently == 0)
but the directory entries don't get removed.  FS then panics when I
try to rm the files /tmp/cem*.  Note that none of these problems appear
when I don't mount the floppy on /tmp.  I don't have time right now to
debug this problem, so if anyone has fixed or duplicated the problem
I'd like to know about it.  Thanks.
