Ultrix utilities and segmentation faults

[Stuart Kemp]

These seem to go hand in hand! :-)

Using Ultrix 4.1.

Latest that I found today: I left the '-' off a flag viz.

     rdate v   instead of    rdate -v

and lo and behold, segmentation fault (core dump)

Others I have noticed (and may have mentioned before):

   man -s
      (where the 's' was chosen randomely; yeah, I know it does
       nothing, but should not give segmentation fault).


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


   id
     (if there is no entry for your GID in the /etc/group file)


Did I hear someone mention QC? :-)
