-hackers,
This is the most fucked up thing I've ever experienced with FreeBSD:
[hawk-billf] /home/billf/helpdesk > ls
./ ../ Makefile hdesk.c
[hawk-billf] /home/billf/helpdesk > cd ..
[hawk-billf] /home/billf > ls hdesk
ls: hdesk: No such file or directory
[hawk-billf] /home/billf > cp -pRP helpdesk hdesk
[hawk-billf] /home/billf > cd hdesk
[hawk-billf] /home/billf/hdesk > ls
./ Makefile hdesk.c
../ hdesk* hdesk.o
Note that hdesk and hdesk.o suddenly came back from the dead.
It works in reverse, every now and then when running
$ echo "test" | ./hdesk
it will fail like so:
75203 ktrace CALL execve(0xbfbffb53,0xbfbffa48,0xbfbffa50)
75203 ktrace NAMI "./hdesk"
75203 ktrace RET execve -1 errno 2 No such file or directory
but if I run it again, it may work. the files are just appearing
and reappearing.
Another example:
[hawk-billf] /home/billf/helpdesk > make clean
rm -f hdesk hdesk.o
[hawk-billf] /home/billf/helpdesk > ls
./ Makefile hdesk.c ktrace.out
../ hdesk* hdesk.o
hdesk and hdesk.o have been removed, but they are still hanging around.
If I copy the directories around (or move) them, I experience the same
oddity. If I make a whole new directory structure and
$ cat hdesk.c > /tmp/hdesk.c
$ cat Makefile /tmp/Makefile
$ mkdir notwhacked
$ cp /tmp/{hdesk.c,Makefile} notwhacked
the behavior goes away.
Someone tell me I'm wrong here...
