> Hey guys,
> I've found a serious error in the program "false": If I pipe some text to it (e.g. echo "i lost the game" | false), it does not fail but rather returns a success. Any suggestions? I need this program very much for completing my thesis on Pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.
> It would very kind of you if you'd inform me when the error has been fixed. (Remark: I am using Ubuntu 9.10.)
