Bug Report for CoreUtils 6.5 submitted to address@hidden by Dave
Santo
Mac OS X, 10.4.8, 1.3ghz, 1.5mb ram, 400gig hds

I hope this helps you to help others (especially me).

All tests passed or skipped are listed at the bottom. Two(2) of them are
kinda special.
One skipped with NO DIRECTIONS to set any env var. It passed, I found, after
setting
an env var for other tests. The 2nd test needed an outside program. After I
installed
that other program, the test also passed. ONE FAILURE EXISTS! Other
anomalies at bottom also.

FAIL: one-file-system (tests/rm) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where the testing fails. The mount command doesn't understand "mount -" (the
FIRST BAR of "--bind"). Nor does it understand "-bind" or "bind."
My research into this, as a non-programmer, yielded squat!

How did the variables you used come up with the pathname? How did it fail
and then pass? What were you actually looking for? /usr/bin/perl? That's the
only one I have. v5.8.6. And, what's with the "\\" in the path and then only
"\" later on? There's nothing to escape, or is there?

        This may indicate a flaw in your kernel or file system
implementation.
        The flaw isn't serious for coreutils, but it might break other
tools,
        so you should report it to your operating system vendor.

ONE FINAL THING. Mostly in the Terminal, if I type ³/usr/bin/su² and type in
my password, it¹s accepted. HOWEVER, since installing GNU CoreUtils, using
its included new ³su² command, I can not switch to the root user! Every time
I try it, I get ³incorrect password.² This seems really odd. Shouldn¹t the
old su perform the same as the gnu su?

The old su:
