I don't know whether the program or the man page corresponds to Posix, but the program appears to be consistent with other unixes. >How-To-Repeat: Run cmp on two files one of which is an initial subset of the other. Observe where the message is printed. >Fix: should be trivial :-) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
