Folks, I don't experience either, but I'd like to just draw your attention to certain behaviour of the emulation layer, which might cause the confusion. Namely, the Linux process using the emulation layer (e.g. the shell that .javawraper uses), when looking for a file or directory, it first traverses the hierarchy with root in /compat/linux/, and if it finds the matching filename there, it just looks no longer in the real / . So, if you accidentally have the filename that matches the one you look for, located in /compat/linux/, it will be picked up instead. -- Andrzej // ---------------------------------------------------------------- // Andrzej Bialecki , Chief System Architect // WebGiro AB, Sweden (http://www.webgiro.com) // ---------------------------------------------------------------- // FreeBSD developer (http://www.freebsd.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
