I'll take responsibility if its broken, but I'm unable to reproduce
your problems:
jtc@sun-lamp$ mkdir junk
jtc@sun-lamp$ yes | ./rm -r junk
Broken Pipe
And:
jtc@sun-lamp$ mkdir junk
jtc@sun-lamp$ ./rm -ri junk
remove junk? y
jtc@sun-lamp$
Are you sure you're running a rm from current? I've seen similar bugs
in the past, but I thought they had all been fixed. What's the RCS ID
in rm.c?
