Dear Tru64 Managers,
please have a look at the little example below; the permissions on file
"foo.txt" should _not_ prevent the "mv" from succeeding.
This works fine on other UNIX file system types.
The bug can cause scripts etc. to fail where they used to work fine
(that is more or less how I discovered it).
Regards,
Maarten.Litmaath@cern.ch
