Well, since your awesome efforts last time, everyone here already knows you're the most polite bug reporter, absolutely fair and waiting long enough for the bug wranglers to catch up, answering nicely to their statements and that you're always correct. Your solution to that bug was charming and short: Dump what you didn't see making sense (is that what you said about things being "invalid"?) -- instead of complicated solutions like e.g. using readlink(1) and keeping at least the functionality in there. -hwh PS: free sarcasm for everyone, just pick your favorite above. And sorry for adding to the inevitable noise. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
