Known errors in the current release of qedx.
# Associated TR's
Description
0016 phx17590 phx18344
If the user types an input/request line longer than 512 characters,
qedx will overwrite parts of the stack causing subsequent faults or
fatal process errors.
0011 phx16226
The "wake_tbl" tty_ mode, which causes the user's process to only
be awoken when a "\" is typed, is not reset if the current buffer
overflows (ie: exceeds 1044480 characters) during input.
0010 phx15534 phx15664
qedx should not create files whose names require the use of quoting
or special control arguments (eg: rename's "-name") as the
manipulation of such files pose severe problems for naive (and not
so naive) users. Thus, qedx should reject the use of whitespace,
command language characters ("()[];), starname characters (*?),
and equalname characters (=%) when creating a new file.
0009 phx15606
qedx ignores empty buffers when deciding whether to ask for permis-
sion to exit with modified buffers. However, the list of
modified buffers displayed in the query includes empty buffers.
Empty buffers should not be listed. This is a bug because a user
will not be able to reset the modified state of these buffers as
qedx does not allow the user to write an empty buffer but the
empty buffers will continue to be listed as long as there is one
non-empty, modified buffer.
0008 phx15457 phx19279
Given the following sequence of qedx requests:
r FILE
b(other) $a \b(0) \f
the text appended to buffer "other" will not contain the contents
of the file that was just read into buffer "0".
0007 phx15204 phx18060
Given the following sequence of requests in an empty buffer:
.r FILE
1p 1,$d
.r FILE
1p 1,$d
.r FILE
1p
the first read request will execute properly. However, the second
read request will insert a NUL at the beginning of the file as
seen by the print request. The third and subsequent read requests
will insert a newline at the beginning of the file.
