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

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?

I can confirm this on Athlon64 X2 with GHC 6.10.1 running Linux 2.6.25. Same behavior here. Greets, Ertugrul. -- nightmare = unsafePerformIO (getWrongWife >>= sex) http://blog.ertes.de/
