No idea. I can't make it fail in that fashion here, on a range of
-current systems from mid-September through yesterday's snapshot.
Does the following:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <err.h>
void main(void)
{
int i, j;
char buf[256];
FILE *p;
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
if ((p = popen("/bin/date", "r")) == NULL)
err(1, "popen");
fgets(buf, sizeof(buf) - 1, p);
printf(buf);
if ((pclose(p)) == -1)
err(1, "pclose");
}
}
do the "right" or the "wrong" thing?
