- ptx bug
- There is a bug in the distributed version of ptx (permuted index)
- which may cause the program to hang unexpectedly. The code is a bit
- "unusual" as it is, but if an execl to the sort(1) program fails
- ptx falls through a switch case statement and a child process ends up
- up waiting for itself to exit (forever). The fix is left to the
- interested hacker.
