Re: Broken pipe error

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:Ok, it seems that I found a bug.
:
:elevator# man ppp
:zcat: error writing to output: Broken pipe
:zcat: /usr/share/man/cat8/ppp.8.gz: uncompress failed
:
:
:The man page opens but when I close it, that is on the screen.
:
:Also, when I run ./locate.updatedb also makes this error sometimes, 
:often when lots and lots of files on the fs are added or deleted.
:
:Not a serious bug but might be an easy fix. So if anyone can have a look 
:at it, would be great.

:Cheers,

    What happens if you bring up the manual page and run it all the way
    to the end of the page before quiting out ?  Do you still get the
    Broken Pipe?

    It could simply be the zcat program complaining about the pager exiting
    before zcat has managed to write out the whole page.
