site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com - I'm playing with the following perl line: perl -e '$a="C"x22;for(1..50000){ ! -d $a and mkdir $a and chdir $a }' which is from http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/34008/info I'm checking it on a Mac OS X 10.6.4 system. This does not produce a crash, it just takes some time to complete. - I'm also playing with a slight variation: perl -e '$a="D"x22;for(1..60){ ! -d $a and mkdir $a and chdir $a }' Problems: . Only 44 levels shown in the Trash . The Empty Trash action does not work . More surprising, when you run rm -r DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, it asks: _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

The problem I'm seeing is that I can't delete the top CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC folder. If I put it in the Trash and tell the Finder to empty the trash, it does nothing. If I disclose the contents of the CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC folder in the Trash (with the alt key), it only shows 44 levels. When you try to do a rm -r on the folder, it fails because "Too many open files in system". override rwxr-xr-x toto/staff for DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/ DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD/DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? I'm not especially interested by all the problems related to MAX_PATHLEN and sysctl max files but: [Q] Shouldn't there be a warning dialog in the Finder to report that the empty request failed? [Q] Isn't the "override rwxr-xr-x toto/staff" request a bug considering the request is not made for a hierarchy with only 1 or 2 levels? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
