Due to parsing errors at least on Alpha lsdev makes a difference between strings like " eth0" and "eth0" and makes a display rather funny. I have seen in the past also errors on other platforms which had an information in /proc in a slightly different format than what the author of this utility had on hands. The author was notified about that over a year ago, and supplied with fixes, but unfortunately he seems to have very vague ideas about how to write something in Perl. Sigh! At least he could pay attention to complaints from 'perl -cw'. Michal Jaegermann michal
