The response from The Open Group was that AIX, HP-UX and Solaris engineering have no objections to aligning with BSD and GNU behavior. Andrew will take the action to confirm that The Open Group will sponsor the interface. (This action is still open) Bug 1064: basename() and dirname(): Specification is not complete enough to allow existing thread-unsafe implementations OPEN http://austingroupbugs.net/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=1064 The entire call was sepent discussing bug 1064. A resolution was prepared in the etherpad and Don took an action to update the bug after the meeting. Action: Andrew to contact people associated with NetBSD and OpenBSD who have participated in the Austin Group in the past (there are some names below ) and alert them to bug 1064 which we believe will require them to change their implementations if they want to conform (to Issue 8). Such a change has already been made recently by FreeBSD so we are hopeful that the other BSD versions will be willing to adopt the new FreeBSD implementation of basename() and dirname().
