If this still exists, is it tied to NIS somehow? FWIW, I succeeded in recreating this in -CURRENT a few weeks ago, but only once. I created a user, logged in as the user, created some files, logged in as root at the same time, removed the user, switched back to the user shell, tried to edit the files with vi. After I danced around a file and a bunch of lines, it freaked as described in the PR, but I couldn't reproduce it later. Apparently the bug is still there but triggered pretty randomly. No NIS whatsoever in my setup. -- Anatoly Vorobey, mellon@pobox.com http://pobox.com/~mellon/ "Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly" - G.K.Chesterton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
