Description Need Real Name 2000-09-19 04:32:07 UTC
/usr/bin/rev is truncating in 7b:
   GOOD:
[rh6.2 system]$ echo cypherpunks | rev
sknuprehpyc
[rh6.2 system]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/rev
util-linux-2.9o-13

  BAD:
[rh7b system]$ echo cypherpunks | rev
hpyc
[rh7b system]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/rev
util-linux-2.10m-9

I've set "severity" to low, tho' if this is a library bug
it'll doubtless affect something else.

I'll take a look at the source as soon as I get my CDs
back from whoever has them currently!

Ooops, sorry, I swear I searched first; didn't see the other report until I
searched again after filing...
