Re: System.system broken?

In local.glasgow-haskell-users, you wrote:

is System.system broken in 5.04? i am using the rpm provided on the web site and this call appears to be broken. in particular, using strace i find that it is attempting the following call

[pid 16975] execve("n/sh", ["/bin/sh", "-c", "echo foo"], [/* 67 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

note that it appears the first three characters are being droped from the first argument to execve.

I don't know about that particular binary package, but my CVS copy works fine: execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "echo foo"], [/* 79 vars */]) = 0 -- http://news.bbc.co.uk: `Israeli forces [...], declaring curfews that confine more than 700,000 people to their homes.'
