[Crash-utility] WRT: too many redirections bug

In regards to the 409 line command file containing a long series of: bt n > output-n with "n" taking on 407 different values and then ending with the line: ! bash script [[That last command fails because the pipe call fails.]] I thought I'd let you know the oldish version, too. In doing so, it seems the program goes through all the startup rigmarole before processing options. It shouldn't do that. No point in bumping into failing configurations if all you are going to do is print out a version. # crash --version > c-cmd.log gdb called without error_hook: No struct type named ldlm_lock. gdb called without error_hook: No struct type named ldlm_lock. gdb called without error_hook: /root/.gdbinit:78: Error in sourced command file: No struct type named ldlm_lock. /root/.gdbinit:78: Error in sourced command file: No struct type named ldlm_lock. crash 5.1.1-2.el6 Copyright (C) 2002-2011 Red Hat, Inc.
