I wrote this before, but to fresh up your memory, here again, different wording: Unless Solaris's behavior is mandated by a commonly accepted standard, comparable in relevance to IEEE or IETF standards, it is not relevant for Linux. It is YOU who has to make that decision: support your cdrtools users who chose Linux (which means: accepting its decisions and adjusting YOUR code to work properly, and either file detailed, traceable and comprehensible bug reports, or work around the bugs), or leave the Linux users standing in the rain. -- Matthias Andree - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
