What were you trying to do?
Obtain the text of all recent transactions in bugs which have to
do with emacs. I used the following command to do this:
dsgrep -n 1000 -p -a -i -e emacs bugs >&! /usr/tmp/emacs-bugs
What's wrong:
Somewhere around [7940] it stopped retrieving the text, and it
just prints *** End of transaction ***:
bugs [7940]: rios emacs loadst
*** End of Transaction ***
bugs [7942]: rsaix 7.3i: /etc/catman
*** End of Transaction ***
bugs [7960]: decmips 7.3k: emacs
*** End of Transaction ***
-- and so on up to [8905] --
Note that `dsgrep -p' normally prints the text of the transaction NOT
including the subject line and NOT including the string:
*** End of Transaction ***
It was doing the right thing for the first few hundred transaction, but
somewhere along the line it got messed up. The output of my query can
be found in frozen form in ~ckclark/emacs-bugs.F
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
dsgrep(1)
