testing upgrade today broke output redirection (sometimes)
I'm unable to redirect stdout sometimes, eg program > out fails.
I had to move a machine, so first I upgraded:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
Linux version 2.2.20 (root@jr.maine.com) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #2 Sun Aug 18 20:06:45 EDT 2002
Now I'm having a problem with redirected output.
A small script, "jr", runs an SUID c program (cpage) with
embedded perl. cpage prints to stdout and that works. When
I try to redirect that output into a file, I get nothing. Same
failure when I run it not SUID. A simple test case seems to
work, so there is something more complicated going wrong and I
really need some suggestions as to what to try first!
I tried upgrading another dev machine and it broke the same way.

This works fine:
root@jr.maine.com:/w/jr/journal/.cache/bug# /usr/cgi/cpage -c journal -q "minerva:mysql:slash:links:*:status > 0 AND org_name <> 'Error' ORDER BY org_name" -f templated_links -n 9999 -FD
<TABLE BGCOLOR="#A...[much deleted normal output]...</TABLE>
This does not; there is nothing in 'out'.
root@jr.maine.com:/w/jr/journal/.cache/bug# /usr/cgi/cpage -c journal -q "minerva:mysql:slash:links:*:status > 0 AND org_name <> 'Error' ORDER BY org_name" -f templated_links -n 9999 -FD > out
root@jr.maine.com:/usr/lib# echo $?
0
root@jr.maine.com:/w/jr/journal/.cache/bug# cat out <---- out is empty
