Re: redirection can create nul files - Was: rm hangs on illegal filename nul

[Volker Quetschke]

Hi Igor,

A couple more datapoints:

- You can also create "nul" by "touch nul".
- You can use forward slashes, so "rm //./c:/somedir/nul" works.
- For me (on Win2k SP3), "rm nul" doesn't hang, but doesn't do anything
  either.

Here neither, but "rm -rf somedir" hangs.
