Haven't checked if there are other > builtins with this problem. I tested this, and it worked fine. Perhaps this means that glibc 2.1.3 is broken. I just now tried it under FreeBSD 4.0, and OpenBSD 2.7, and ran into the error you mentioned. I think that statting to find the mount point would be too wasteful. Dropping the tail could work except for things like mkdir -p.
