Here's the (hopefully) relevant bit of the result:-

    rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [ALRM], [], 8) = 0
    select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})      = 0 (Timeout)
    rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0
    access("tags", R_OK)                    = 0
    stat("/home/chris/wmsfixbuildTFEE7.5.0dev/SUN5/TV", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0775, 
st_size=4096, ...>
    write(1, "\33[76;1H[No tags file available.]", 32) = 32
    write(1, "\33[37;27H", 8)               = 8
    rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, [ALRM], [], 8) = 0
    select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, {0, 0})      = 0 (Timeout)
    rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0


It's as if the stat() call isn't returning a sensible/correct value.

If I do "ls -al" in /home/chris/wmsfixbuildTFEE7.5.0dev/SUN5/TV I get:-

Looks OK to me.
