OUTPUT THROUGH Timing problem on fast UNIX machines,e.g.MIPS
901003-hwa01Language - OUTPUT THROUGH
This refers to a timing bug. If you you use UNIX statements in a
procedure that utilizes OUTPUT THROUGH, the UNIX statements may
execute out of sequence. An example of this type of procedure may be
found in the V6 LANGUAGE REFERENCE Manual on page 387. R-OTHRU.P
will sometimes execute the "rm wcdata" prior to the "cat wcdata",
depending on how fast we flush it's buffers, the faster the output
close occurs. Generally, you will not see this unless you are
running on a fast machine, like a MIPS. This is a timing issue that
occurs in Version 5 and Version 6. Currenlty, there are no plans
to fix it.
