I must admit that I'm quite embaressed about bringing this up without properly checking which versions, etc, had the described behaviour as it doesn't appear in any of the FCS versions. In some mail from Casper Dik, sie said: > > (I have a strong sense of deja-vu, wasn't this discussed before on > BUGTRAQ? Ah wait, Usenet Oct '98) > > This compiler "feature" only exists in the pre-FCS compilers (i.e., > Alpha and Beta products) and other pre-FCS workshop products. Yes, I should have checked more fully on systems I have at my disposal. > It was documented in several locations, perhaps even in the > "must read and agree to" license, but I think it was pretty prominent. And like most licenses which people need to get through to install/get software, I (like most people) tend to just click "yes" rather than `waste' time reading it. Still, I'd have rather seen the email come from foo@ rather than nobody@ (which has the effect of making it disappear via /dev/null if an error occurs in delivery). Darren
