    I happen to be running Linux in a VirtualBox VM on a Mac

    If you did it in Linux -- even in a VM on Mac -- you didn't do it "on a Mac", so you didn't test that hypothesis at all.

    I was following along with you, but you went way offside here. A lot of squiggly lines and plain text butchery so it's hard to read.

    I can't agree that all *nix == Unix == *BSD etc, but I may be missing something. We already know the path name is incorrect, and I already stated more info from the OP is required, so I don't know if you're just repeating that, or implying I missed something beyond what I said in the post you're replying to, or my OP.

    It seems illogical for you to respond with what you did here unless you posted verbatim output from a test on a Mac with little else. It's in no way additive to what has already been discussed on this thread, nor does it add any benefit; it suits to confuse more than anything... again, unless I'm totally missing something.

    I responded in a very sane way, with logic. The only addition to my post would have been examples of tests that one would have run. That's it. Output to confirm.

    OS/X (Mach ...) behavior is identical to (any other ...) Unix is identical to Linux.

    What?

    No. Please stop.
