The problem as I understand your problem is when logged in on the RT
console, using more on a zero length file, returns a character which
turns out to be negative 1.
The good news: This is easilly reproducible on the RT console.
The bad news: It does not happen on the vax.
The bad news: This did not break in 7.0. Running the 6.4R binary
shows the same problem.
I suspect the problem may be solved by returning NULL from checkf if
EOF is detected in the Getf or if after the stat, the file size is
determined to be 0.
This would of course have to be audited....
