Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #63603, comment 22

initial	v1
1		My "splendid" patch for the conftest programme fails on Tiger. First I had to change in the fprintf() statement on line #401 the %lu for TARGET_LEN to %d, but still no writing to my file. Then I found when I run the conftest programme as a mortal user it creates a directory hierarchy of almost 300 levels, which is close to the `desired depth` when TARGET_LEN is 5120. To remove this tree it's necessary to move the directory at around the 50. level to some other name in the current working directory, say "a". And then work on the a tree the same to create b. And so on. Interestingly `mv` does not seem to be limited to a path name length of 1024 characters. This extremely deep tree can be removed by an `rm -rf confdir-14B---/ [a-g]`…
