OK. I think we can legitimately close this as not-reproducible.

I don't know why that would make a difference, but it could, I suppose.

Some months ago, I borrowed a Mac OS X machine and persuaded the owner to give me the root password. I was unable to reproduce this bug.

I suspect the original submitter may have had one or more directories NFS mounted, so the root-squash feature could have caused this.

Well, that's a good idea by itself...

I don't know who the submitter was for this. I don't have easy access to Mac OS X.

There has been a lot of work on the system file code in this release cycle. I suppose we could just assume that this has been fixed.

I suggest that we fix this one by putting a note in the user manual instructing the user not run the software as superuser.

attached file causes segfault on SYSFILE INFO under Mac OS X, but only as superuser (!)
