Attempt to copy it with "rcp -p foo target:." where target is a 64-bit system such as an Alpha (running D/U in this case). Will fail with a "mtime.sec not delimited" screwup message due to presence of a minus sign. However, it should not be necessary to reproduce this to realize that the given code fragment is a time bomb, so to speak... >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
