hi,
the -A option (append data to the output file) for record
command is broken, probably for some time now.

Anyone interested in this functionality? As we discussed
this with Arnaldo he and I would vote for removal.

thoughts?

thanks,
jirka

I ran a bisect on this problem a year ago:

"Append has been broken for a long time (v2.6.36 last working version)."

I have never used this option nor do I know people who do.
