From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!npoiv!alice!research!dmr Newsgroups: net.bugs.v7 Title: Bug in link() Article-I.D.: research.283 Posted: Fri Aug 13 01:21:57 1982 Received: Sun Aug 15 03:48:47 1982 The analysis by Alan Watt of the link bug is correct. The code shown by mi-cec!dvk does have the bug. V7 does not have it, though it does have a fairly innocuous race. 4BSD does not have it, and it fixes the race correctly. I doubt if System III has it, since I just looked at a successor and it is like V7. So the bug has, I hope, narrow distribution. It is a serious one. Dennis Ritchie
