Hello!
I'm new to the Mailinglist.

I've got a strange problem with /dev/isdninfo:

joern:~# cat /dev/isdninfo
idmap:  Hisax...
chmap: 0 1 ...
foo
bar
phone:  ??? ??? ...

--> cat /dev/isdninfo works :-)

Here's the problem:

joern:~# cat <<EOF >cat2.c
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	char buf[500];
	int fd;

	if(argc!=3D2) {
		return(1);
	}
	fd=3Dopen(argv[1],O_RDONLY);
	write(1,buf,read(fd,buf,200));
	return(0);
}
EOF
joern:~# gcc -o cat2 -Wall -ansi cat2.c
joern:~# ./cat2 /dev/urandom ---> 200 bytes of random characters. works :-)
joern:~# ./cat2 /dev/isdninfo ---> nothing.=20

joern:~# strace ./cat2 /dev/isdninfo
=2E..
open("/dev/isdninfo", O_RDONLY) =3D 3
read(3, "", 200) =3D 0
write(1, "", 0) =3D 0
_exit(0) =3D ?

Could someone please tell me what's wrong? I (and some other people) do not=
 understand this.
Thanks in advance!
