[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

md5sum was made line buffered sometime back. However, cksum was left out of
that patch.

I tried running the following test on my machine for cksum, on the lines of
test for md5sum, given in bug archives at:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2009-10/msg00190.html. The
test failed.

Shouldn't cksum too be made line buffered?


anoop <at> Aspire:~$ find / -type f 2>/dev/null | xargs -P2 -n 50 cksum
2>/dev/null | sed -n '/^[0-9]\{1,\} [0-9]\{1,\}/!p'

Thanks,
