We fixed that one (on V7) long ago. I vaguely remember something about a command in /etc/rc generating a shell that attempted to read from a null filename and ended up trying to interpret a directory. Nasty business, that. There's another ambiguity in the same code. The stock code, as I recall, accepted multiple slashes between directory names and a trailing slash after the filename. This doesn't fit the description of a well-formed pathname, either. We zapped this misfeature at the same time. Steve Tarr ...!ihnss!ihps3!stolaf!sft
