Ever created a loop? Happened somehow (probably a stupid joker playing around) with something like 10 levels of directories called 'a' that looped back through an 'a' on a VAX here (Ultrix, also BSD based). Gave me a _really_ hard time, first to find out what was going on and then to clean up the mess. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand mailto:vonbrand@inf.utfsm.cl Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513
