Ah, you misread me. What I was trying to drive at was if we find the subtle difference between Cygwin's lstat(2) emulation and lstat(2) result from the NTFS driver in the Linux kernel, we could start and fuel flamewar on _other_ lists (namely, kernel and Cygwin) saying "you guys are inconsistent which inconvenience applications great deal". And watching other people flame each other is a lot more fun than flamewar raging close to home ;-). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Mon Feb 12 09:38:49 2007
