Hi,
I somehow managed to create a file named nul (further investigation
pending), and now rm -rf hangs when trying to remove the directory with
this file.
I just upgraded to cygwin 1.5.10-3, I will try with 1.5.9 later.
[q@lisi]/cygdrive/e/w1/OOo/expat/wntgcci.pro/misc/build/expat:{505}:
$ ll xmlparse/
total 0
-rw-rw-r-- 1 q none 0 May 26 23:58 nul
[q@lisi]/cygdrive/e/w1/OOo/expat/wntgcci.pro/misc/build/expat:{506}:
$ rm -rf xmlparse
(hangs)
But:
$ rm -rf xmlparse/nul
Removes the file. Explorer on W2K was *not* able to create that file.
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 lisi 1.5.10(0.116/4/2) 2004-05-25 22:07 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin
(W2kSP4)
I have a second nul file in a different dir, does anyone need an strace?
