Weerd behaviour for Ant
Hi,
I'm new with Ant (since yesterday), and I have this tiny little project
that I test Ant with. Or at least, I tried. But it seems there is a
problem with the mkdir task. I have attached the whole directory as a
.tar.gz (very small, hope you dont mind), and I've attached a file that
shows what I type in, what happens, and what goes wrong.
As you can see the first time it's okay, but the second time something
unexplainable happens. Weird characters are printed to the screen and a
directory with a very strange name is created.
This reminds me of the `good old days' with ANSI C: Dangling pointers,
endless character strings, etc :)
My system:
OS: FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE
JDK: Blackdown JDK 1.2.2 rc3 for Linux (with Linux emulation)
PC: Pentium2-412, 128 MB

Uhm, false alarm. Or no, the alarm should still be active :)
I tried it again, and now it fails again. This problem does not occur
every time /:|
I have used the -verbose option and re-executed ant. The result has been
attached as ant-output. Hope some1 can shed some light on this issue :)

Hmm, I guess this may be causing all this trouble:

Hi,
I recompiled Ant, tried to figure out where the error came from, and found
out the problem disappeared when I converted default.properties (in
ant/taskdefs) from DOS-style (CRLF) to UNIX-style (LF).
I must say the code looks very nice :)
