Thanks for looking at these. It may be easier to apply the patches and then compare the results against the unpatched vms.c manually. The diff program tried to find common parts and did not synchronized well. I will not have the last big patch ready until tomorrow. I found some more cases with the null context, and more that did not need a context at all. So I need to run through a test cycle. The upcoming patch also has the some fixes for Unix filename handling that I missed breaking out separately. Primarily cases where directory specifications returned by glob and other places need to have the ".dir" removed. It will also has a fix for trim_unixpath, which has a memory leak. -John wb8tyw@qsl.net Personal Opinion OnlyThread Previous | Thread Next
