Has anyone noticed the following oddities?
1)
% a.out < a.out
a.out: Text file busy.
%
Why shouldn't a process be able to read its text file?
2)
% cat ~/.cshrc
echo echo hello
% cp /bin/echo .
% ./echo > echo
hello: Command not found.
% cat echo
echo hello
hello
%
What kinda weird thing is going on here?
Shouldn't there be an error message "Text file busy."
in this case?
