The following reply was made to PR bin/85712; it has been noted by GNATS. From: garys@opusnet.com (Gary W. Swearingen) To: bug-followup@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: bin/85712: uncompress(1) program emits bogus "overwrite?" Date: Sun, 04 Sep 2005 11:27:51 -0700 A further unimportant bug was noticed: When the program is used with a "-" arguement, it accepts standard input as the user's reply to the programs prompt for y/n confirmation, so, for example $ echo yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss | compress yyy - >/tmp/y overwrite yyy.Z? compress: yyy: No such file or directory $ d /tmp/y 32 -rw-r--r-- 1 jojo wheel - 0 Sep 4 11:19:35 2005 /tmp/y instead of sending the compressed string to /tmp/y, as advertized.
