Usually this kind of thing happens when programs are trying to do something with .../as/xyz and .../as was accidentally created as a file, rather than a directory. It could also happen when some implicit search path involves .../as/... and you have a file as in one of the directories involved in that path. I'd suggest the next time it occurs, doing a "find / -type f -name as" and see what possibilities exist. This can be kind of like having . in your path and a program called "test", all kinds of things act goofy for no obvious reason (aliases /bin/test used in many shell scripts). -- George Robbins - not working for, work: to be avoided at all costs... but still emotionally attached to: web: http://www.netaxs.com/people/grr Commodore, Engineering Department domain: grr@tharsis.com
