You are right, it does sound like it may be a Seatbelt issue. Would you mind filing a report via < http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/

? Among the benefits of filing it is that you can see the bug status and add additional information as needed. when trying to compile coreutils-6.10 in a sandbox, I noticed that their

getcwd() configure test yielded different results with and without the sandbox. I did some testing and boiled it down to the attached testcase: When running the same program in a sandbox that doesn't actualy restrict anything but has a rule containing a path name, it will fail much earlier with "File name too long": Has anyone come across this? -- bye, Micha <recgetcwd.c><recgetcwd.sb> _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
