The fix is to make the parser properly analyzing whether an operand is

The error message is:
stty: TIOCGETD: Operation not supported
It's immediately obvious to the knowledgable hacker type, but not
exactly comforting to the user who's not native to unix. It's
especially confusing if there's a stty command in their .cshrc and
it's showing up on rsh output.

cpio/copyout.c:
Don't output a file if the major, minor or totality of its rdev would be
truncated. Print a message about the skipped files to stderr but don't
report the error in the exit status. cpio's abysmal error handling doesn't
allow continuing after an error, and the rdev checks had to be misplaced
to avoid the problem of returning an error code from routines that return
void.
pax/pax.h:
Use the system macros for major(), minor() and makedev().
pax already checks _all_ output conversions for overflow. This has the
undesirable effect that failure to convert relatively useless fields
such as st_dev for regular files causes files not to be output. pax
doesn't report exactly which fields couldn't be converted.
tar/create.c:
Don't output a file if the major or minor its rdev would be truncated.

Minor numbers are limited to 21 bits in pax's ustar format and to 18

documented and is incompatible with gnu cp. It has very few good effects
(it recovers some disk space) and many bad ones:
- special files are unlinked after certain errors.
- the data may not be recoverable if the source is a special file or fifo.
- unlinking destroys the target attributes as well as the target data.
- unlinking doesn't actually remove the target data if the target is multiply
linked.
There is a bug in sh: the built in command "fc -l" generates
a core dump (*NULL in not_fcnumber).
According to the sh manual page (fc -l [-nr] [first [last]]), fc -l
is a correct sequence (in that case, values are defaulted to -16 and -1)
but fails when first is not given.

stat the pathname "" in order to decide that the pathname "/" is
a directory. This caused `cp kernel /' to fail if the kernel has
the POSIX behaviour of not allowing the pathname "" to be an alias
for ".". It presumably also caused `cp /etc/motd /' to fail in
the unlikely event that "." is not stat'able.
Be more careful about concatenating pathnames: don't check that
the pathname fits until prefixes have been discarded (the check
was too strict). Print the final pathname in error messages.
Terminate the target directory name properly for error messages.
Don't add a slash between components if there is already a slash.

You can get ps easily to core dump, if you are running a "make depend"

my limited alternatives: I can't make this an execvp() without making
people scream that I introduced a failure point or slowed down pwd,
and I can't make it an optional macro since crunch doesn't let you pass
arbitrary command-line args to the build of one of its crunch-ees.
This is the simplest, if not the nicest looking, solution I could come up
with.
- Get rid of inverse logic (NOKERBEROS and NOEBONES) in src/makefile,
and replace with MAKE_KERBEROS and MAKE_EBONES. (Far fewer contortions,
and both default to off.) IF YOU WANT KERBEROS, YOU HAVE TO EXPLICITLY
DEFINE ONE OF THESE.
- Make Makefiles kerberos-aware.
This should fix it (passed my test cases). Originally discovered with
perl's Configure (well, in FreeBSD, I don't know how the NetBSD folks
discovered it).

Based on: Work done on 1.x's test(1) by Andrew Moore and Adam David.
POSIX.2 looks pretty unequivocal to me, and it agrees with you.
Under the explanation of the "-p" option, it says, "Each dir operand that
names an existing directory shall be ignored without error." Under the
explanation of exit status zero, it says, "All the specified directories were
created successfully, or the-p option was specified and all the specified
directories now exist."
Seems to me POSIX requires exactly the behavior you want.

Caveat: The commands `st' and `sr' are now both legal and have very
different meanings. This is because ed(1) extends POSIX to include the
