Ok, but this program works just fine (if the file a exists):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>


int
main(void)
{
  int ret;

  ret = rename( "a", "b" );

  printf("ret = %d, errno = %d.\n", ret, errno);

  return 0;
}

Yes, but this program is lowercasing things. I just saw that Eli
commited some patches in cvs for this. Am I to understand that with
those patches, the following program doesn't work? (I haven't tried
that yet as I can't recompile libc for the moment.)

I want to know how to reproduce the (original) problem.


Right,
