- I found that rename(file1, file2) was overwriting some of my global vars
- when file1 did not exist. A simple test on the existence of file1 solved the
- problem. However, rename should never overwrite anything. I noticed that
- my global vars contained after the rename function the string:
- `file1' not existent (ut4) using xunlink.
-
- Hopefully this has been fixed in 9.0. Or does this bug report causes 9.0
- to be delayed for another week -:).
