Well, GNU configure is known to do weird things. :-) Thanks for the report, i think i've fixed this (even though i don't think redirecting something to myself would make much sense -- but Posix seems to allow it). I found a more serious bug when looking for this (redirecting to a bogus descriptor didn't result in the "Bad file descriptor" message as it ought to be -- this was in violation of Posix). :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
