Subject: 1.1.8: stat() (ntsec) clears reentrant-buffer for strtok()
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi there!

This is my problem with stat() and strtok() on 1.1.8:

stat() seems to clear the reentrant-buffer for strtok()
if ntsec is set in the CYGWIN environment-variable.

So i found _REENT->_new._reent._strtok_last in the
strtok-source, and my test-program included here uses
this to see what happens (hope you can reproduce).

Yes, i know it may be better to use strtok_r(), but my
program already works on HP-UX, AIX, Linux, SunOS and
Win32 using MSVC 5.0 too.

I noticed this strange behaviour both on WinNT 4.0 and Win2K,
everywhere using only NTFS as the local filesystem, using
$ `gcc -v`
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-6/specs
gcc version 2.95.2-6 19991024 (cygwin experimental)

You may try my test-program with and without ntsec
set in your CYGWIN-var to see what i mean.

Thank you for the great thing making a
complete Unix-environment possible on Windows!
