Hi happy AdaControl users,

Don't know if this was already noticed somewhere, but I've just noticed =
 =

some care must taken when one use the =E2=80=9C-w=E2=80=9C in a specific=
 circumstance:  =

this option direct the adactl command to overwrite the output file  =

specifies by the =E2=80=9C-o <file>=E2=80=9D option. If you do so *with*=
 the =E2=80=9C-r=E2=80=9D option  =

*without* the =E2=80=9C-m=E2=80=9D option, you will a get an output file=
 looking like  =

truncated. The output file will be overwritten for each processed units =
 =

spec' and body. When the =E2=80=9C-m=E2=80=9D option is specified, this =
undesired behavior  =

is not exposed.

Conclusion: if you use the options =E2=80=9C-o=E2=80=9D =E2=80=9C-r=E2=80=
=9D and =E2=80=9C-w=E2=80=9D all together, always  =

serve it with an =E2=80=9C-m=E2=80=9D option (this will also prevent you=
 from erroneously  =

suspecting a bug in adactl ;-) ).
