Hello, > Calling access(p, m) with p == NULL is not specified, so don't do > that. On GNU/Hurd systems doing so will result in an SIGSEGV. a friend of mine choked on this one when tried git for the second time (the first time "git-repack -a -d -f" screwed his repository after the initial checkout. This is fixed for a long time). Lucky me that he had his libusbdriver in LD_PRELOAD which could not handle the NULL argument. And I always thought libc would make the check before it does the system call or does GNU/hurts not use the gnu libc?
