Sorry I see I've missed a `touch /test/.x` in the bugreport. The test case is really simple:
% busybox sh BusyBox v1.22.1 (Debian 1:1.22.0-8) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. ~ $ mkdir /tmp/emptytest ~ $ touch /tmp/emptytest/.x ~ $ find /tmp/emptytest/ -name "*?" | dd count=1 2>/dev/null /tmp/emptytest/ ~ $ find /tmp/emptytest/ -name "*?" | dd count=1 2>/dev/null /tmp/emptytest/ ~ $ find /tmp/emptytest/ -name "*?" | dd count=1 2>/dev/null /tmp/emptytest/ /tmp/emptytest/.x ~ $ find /tmp/emptytest/ -name "*?" | dd count=1 2>/dev/null /tmp/emptytest/ ~ $ find /tmp/emptytest/ -name "*?" | dd count=1 2>/dev/null /tmp/emptytest/ /tmp/emptytest/.x ~ $ find /tmp/emptytest/ -name "*?" | dd count=1 2>/dev/null /tmp/emptytest/ ~ $ find /tmp/emptytest/ -name "*?" | dd count=1 2>/dev/null /tmp/emptytest/ /tmp/emptytest/.x The output should be always: /tmp/emptytest/ /tmp/emptytest/.x Assuming dd block size default to 512. Notice that omitting count or in pipe with cat it work properly. I guess something wrong on how dd close the pipe or find handle broken pipes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
