Before this change, cat would + produce no output (or truncated output), for some linux kernels. + + * src/cat.c (write_pending): New function, factored out of cat. + (cat): Also interpret a negative ioctl/FIONREAD count as indicating + that there are bytes to read. Some versions of linux-2.6.16 do that. + Write any pending output before returning. + Reported by Dan Jacobson in <http://bugs.debian.org/370583>. + * NEWS: Mention this bug fix. + * tests/misc/cat-proc: New file. Test for the above. + * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add cat-proc. + +2006-06-07 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> + * src/expr.c (eval4): Detect overflow properly when multiplying INTMAX_MIN * -1. |
