I'm getting a very strange error when I run either of the main two hat utilities:
dhcp2966:~/Documents/Work/SECD Machine tatd100$ hat-trail SECDmachine Fail: /tmp/hmakeconfig.1273: removeFile: failed (Bad file descriptor)
The error message mentions the file '/tmp/hmakeconfig.xxxx'. This is a temporary file (badly named, I know) allocated by 'runAndReadStdout' in the hattools module Run.hs. The latter function is used mainly in HighlightStyle.hs to get the terminal window size. Here is the usage of 'removeFile' in 'runAndReadStdout': s <- readFile output removeFile output -- file will not be removed until readFile closes it return (safeinit s) -- strip trailing newline added by shell It looks like maybe your /tmp filesystem does somthing clever, or maybe we really need to suck in the contents of the file before removing it?
