I can't reproduce this behavior. This is what I see: $ dd if=/dev/zero | dd count=100 of=/dev/null 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 51200 bytes (51 kB) copied, 0.00245 seconds, 20.9 MB/s $ dd --version dd (coreutils) 5.97 $ $ uname -rm 2.6.18-5-amd64 x86_64 $ uname -rm 2.6.22-3-686 i686 Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
