From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: If gv is asked to open a zero-sized file, it says the file does not exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gv-3.5.8-23 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create a zero-sized file named foo.ps $ > foo.ps 2.Ask gv to open it: $ gv foo.ps Actual Results: gv: Cannot open file foo.ps (No such file or directory) Expected Results: It should open the file and display a blank page, like it does for a one-blank-line file. Additional info: strace seems to indicate it does fine the file, but it's probably not happy that it has size zero. When it has non-zero size, the first stat64 is followed by an open. stat64("foo.ps", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 stat64("foo.ps.ps", 0xbff00be0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("foo.ps", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 write(2, "gv: Cannot open file foo.ps (No su"..., 56gv: Cannot open file foo.ps (No such file or directory) ) = 56 exit_group(1) = ?
