> I had this happen to me back in the days of 2.1.5, only it was just my > home directory that got eaten. > > JKH assured me that the bug was fixed in 2.1.6. :-( There were two bugs in the cleanup code. One removed everything in the current directory on ^C if you whapped it at just the right time and I fixed it right after 2.1.5 came out. The other bug removed everything the current directory on ^C if you whapped it at just the right time and I fixed it right after 2.2.5 came out. :-) [yes, exact same symptoms, different bugs]. I know these bugs were extremely pathological and if I hadn't already done my best to chase down and fix them, I'd feel a lot worse than I do right now about it. Having fixed it (knock on wood), all I can say at this stage is "man, I'm sorry Ron! I hope you had backups and I only wish you'd hit ^C *after* the package tools had been upgraded to 2.2-stable!" :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
