Hi, On a 3.0-980827-SNAP system: pdksh seems to have a problem with the following: (cd $bindir && tar -cf - . ) | (cd $binwrk && pwd && tar -xvf -) the 2nd tar complains with: + tar -xvf - tar: Hmm, this doesn't look like a tar archive. tar: Skipping to next file header... If I remove the invokation of the 1st subshell, everything works correctly(except that the current process has had it's directory changed). ie: cd $bindir && tar -cf - . | (cd $binwrk && pwd && tar -xvf -) I cannot seem to replicate this on a 4.0-current system.
