I found out (like many others) that one of the programs not working is ls. I did some digging and I found out that ls has problems handling directories. For example "ls a*" works OK until it meets a directory starting with a. Then it crashes somewhere around fflush(stdout). "ls *" and "ls" fail always, this may be related. I hadn't the time for more detective work, hope this helps someone. P.S I didn't notice anyone complaining that su (both old and new) doesn't work, am I the only one suffering from this problem? (Many other programs may or may not work, I haven't had the time to test them all). -- """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Lea 'LadyBug' Viljanen ____ University of Helsinki, Finland viljanen@finuha.bitnet \ / .
