Subject: "read" broken in 2.6-beta21?
Date: Thu, 27 Jun 1996 01:11:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199606270011.BAA07863@picasso.cs.tcd.ie> (raw)
This has been affecting me recently; I just tracked it down to the
following:
The "read" command in zsh2.6-beta21 behaves strangely when the input
exceeds 63 characters; the remaining characters in the line are
truncated. For example :
$ read x
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
$ echo $x
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123
$
I don't *think* this affected previous versions of zsh. If a static
buffer is being used for "read", might I suggest that it be increased in
size to something greater than 64 bytes?
(Apologies if this has been pointed out already; I don't subscribe to
zsh-workers any more so I'm not up to speed on the current discussion.
Please e-mail me with comments.)
