[Haskell-cafe] Does readFile "/proc/mounts" hang for you?

21 Jan 2009


      I posted a bug about this (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2971)
but its so odd I had to ask here.  Using ghc 6.10.1, both readFile
"/proc/mounts" and Data.ByteString.Lazy.Char8.readFile "/proc/mounts" hang
on an amd64 machine running Linux.  Also, Data.ByteString.readFile
"/proc/mounts" returns the empty string.  Is this behavior present for
others?  On i386?
