Just to clarify, the nature of my original response was not that this change is unequivocally bad, but that it broke stuff, and the stated rationale seemed dodgy. (Just because POSIX says so doesn't make it a good idea.) The change actually caught me just as I was restoring my main desktop after a hard drive crash and rebuilding all the ports and other applications I use. Lots of random stuff broke while compiling x11 libs or some such thing, and I wound up installing a few dozen things from packages. I guess that's what I get for running -CURRENT when I have deadlines!Received on Wed May 02 2007 - 21:41:02 UTC
