The problem exists on other systems as well, such as Mac OS X and Solaris, and I think also HP/UX. Not sure about AIX. It is definitely not endemic to just GLIBC. Not that fixing GLIBC wouldn't help, but it's not GLIBC-specific. Getting bash, grep, sed and gawk fixed will go a long way though. :-) Arnold -- Aharon (Arnold) Robbins arnold AT skeeve DOT com P.O.
