Mmmmm .... I don't think so. The program was using assert(3) - I believe this had something to do with the problem. Whilst the program/process was dumping core (took about 10 mins to complete) the core-dumping process/program would not respond to a ^C or a ^Z. I never got around to trying a kill(1) -9 .... Unrelated: cp(1) "-r" flag is not documented in the cp(1) manual page. It appears to do the same thing as "-R". > > John > -- > John Polstra jdp@polstra.com > John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
