time(1) exits with status (st >> 8) when the process being timed exits with status `st'. This causes it to exit with status 0 when the process is killed by a signal. Is this bug traditional? I noticed it because a process that executed `time foo' assumed that input from the file written by `foo' didn't need to be validated, and copied nonexistent input to stdout forever. Bruce
