If someone actually tried to open() a ""'d symlink an argument can be made to return a specific error rather then trying to resolve it. I'm not sure it's worth it, though. It just doesn't come up that often and there are a thousand other ways you can hogtie yourself in the system that takes less effort. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
