Ultrix 4.0 software problems

[cpsrk at groper.jcu.edu.au]

Following bugs in Ultrix 4.0 software:

Assume file called 'test' exists:

echo test | xargs -i -t ls ./\{\}

--> Dumps core - segmentation fault

echo test | xargs -i -t ls \{\}

--> Does not substitute correctly (and dumps core)

If a command is specified for 'xargs', then always dumps core
after completion.


Problem with awk:

File D.awk:-
----snip snip----
BEGIN { FS = ":" ; RS = "#" }
  { printf "Record: %d  ->%s<-\n", NF, $0 }
----snip snip----


File D:-
-----snip snip-----
Rec1#
Rec2
-----snip snip-----

Command:  awk -f D.awk D

output:
-----snip snip-----
Record: 1  ->Rec1<-
Record: 3  ->
Rec2
<-
-----snip snip-----


--> Record 3 ?????
