I would be interested in the trivial patch as well. The patch's triviality depends on how one checks for if a file descriptor refers to a raw device or not. I'm not sure how to do that reliably. For our purposes it is enough to check if the file-descriptor refers to a regular file and avoid doing a SEEK_END in that case, but that is probably not sufficient in the general case. /Jesper -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesper Eskilson jojo@virtutech.se Virtutech http://www.virtutech.se ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
