why does this not work and how do you do it?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Peter,

No, I don't think this is specific to Linux. There are similar  
problems on Mac OS X.

"The other odd thing" might be yet another bug in Rev or a problem in  
your script. You might want to tell us more about it.

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille
