- Hi All,
-
- I have located a bug in the status command, under workbench 3, and it goes like this:
-
- 7. System:> Status 2147483647
-
- Causes the shell from which the command was initiated, to freeze, until a ^C is issued.
-
- 7. System:> Status 2147483648
-
- Returns an error "Process -2147483648 does not exist" - which, obviously, is true, but where did it
- get the negative sign from?
-
- 7. System:> Status 2147483649
-
- Returns an error "Process -2147483647 does not exist" - which again is true, but -2147483647 wasn't
- the number I entered, was it?
-
- 7. System:> Status 2147483650
-
- Returns an error "Bad number" which indicates to us that 2147483649 is the ceiling value.
-
- I know this bug plays no trouble in the workings of the system, but it's a bug nonetheless, and will
- give Escom/AmiTech something to do =)
