The On SunOS 5.5.1, the filenames are of the form /var/tmp/stmAAAa003M_aa, and the files are typically smaller. The M_ part, at least, appears to change from run to run, but it doesn't change within a run. Solaris 5.5.1 sort doesn't check for symlinks before it opens the file; I have successfully overwritten a file in my home dir this way. This is similar to the gcc bug. Kragen
