Nagandra had another concern, but couldn't email, it got filtered apparently? ----snip--- Was doing more code study on the getcwd problem, The coreutils config.hin in 8.17 no more defines any of RAW_DECL_* functions, which were present in 8.15. Can we expect more problems because of this? Thanks & Regards Nagendra.V.S ---snip--- Bye, Jojo
