Description Bowe Strickland 2002-10-31 22:06:27 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
while running, for example, cat /proc/self/cmdline, no output is generated. 
strace demonstrates output is written to stdout.

for example:

[root@server1 root]# cat /proc/self/cmdline
[root@server1 root]#

[root@server1 root]# strace cat /proc/self/cmdline
(...)
open("/proc/self/cmdline", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
read(3, "cat\0/proc/self/cmdline\0", 4096) = 23
write(1, "cat\0/proc/self/cmdline\0", 23cat/proc/self/cmdline) = 23
read(3, "", 4096)                       = 0
(...)

strings of the same, however, is correct (strings adds newline termination):

[root@server1 root]# strings /proc/self/cmdline
strings
/proc/self/cmdline
[root@server1 root]#

Duplicate of 74383, although I'm not sure whether the bug is in bash, terminal
emulators or terminfo/termcap descriptions.

Comment 2 Miloslav Trmac 2003-12-13 14:12:37 UTC
This is fixed at least in FC 1
