Description of Problem:

more this-file-does-not-exist gives the message "illegal seek". This is 
misleading and annoying. Haven't looked at source but guessing it's doing 
an lseek first thing on the file and not checking error before bitching.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2001-09-04 18:10:42 UTC
You have glibc-2.2.4-11 installed!

(Fixed in 2.2.4-12.)

Comment 2 j. alan eldridge 2001-09-15 04:54:48 UTC
No, I don't.

[alane@wwweasel alane]$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.2.4-8

Latest in rawhide.

Your verdict still stand? And where's there an RPM for 2.2.4-12?
