Re^2: drifting IO::File offset

Hey Dave, just out of curiousity, do you have any documentation on this Solaris 'feature'? Also, do you know offhand if calling POSIX::_exit() will honor DESTROY hints like DBH's InactiveDestroy? I'll test all this later today when I get to work, but any heads-up on specifics would be great. Thanks...

Ezra

do you have any documentation on this Solaris 'feature'? Well, I know about it because of a Perl bug report from a few weeks ago. I'm not sure whether we got as far as resolving whether it's Perl's or Solaris's fault, and I haven't had time yet to go back and look at it further. Solaris is trying to backout of a stdio buffered read before exiting. do you know offhand if calling POSIX::_exit() will honor DESTROY _exit() does an immediate process exit without doing any cleanup of any kind, either at the Perl or C level.
