Description Tim Waugh 2006-03-02 12:30:00 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #123069 +++

Description of problem:
dos2unix filas when cuurent directory is on a different file system
than the 
output file.  If output and input file is the same file, the input
file is 
furthermore deleted.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /home/user
2. touch /tmp/foo
3. dos2unix /tmp/foo
	

Actual Results:  If /home/usr and /tmp are on different file systems,
/tmp/foo is permanently deleted.

Expected Results:  it to work

Additional info:
(from another user)
The cause is trivial, input file is `unlink'ed, output generated as a
temporary file in the current directory and the tried `rename'd to the
output location.  `rename' obviously fails, as it cannot move between
file systems.
