I also think I could give it a shot if one of the people experiencing the problem with the broken stderr redirection would explain to me how to reproduce it. I was quickly able to deduce why > /dev/stdout didn't work, however my fix was actually the same as what was just backed out. So if someone could explain how to reproduce the problem with the backed out code I'd be much appreciative. -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
