When using gt5 in various directories on my system (including my home directory) I get blank results.

If I limit the max-depth enough, I get results. For example, in my home directory 'gt5 --max-depth 2' produces a listing, while 'gt5 --max-depth 3' produces a blank page.

I've noticed that the temporary html file that gets created in tmp (such as '/tmp/gt5.9035.kJVM08Y9/gt5.html' is a zero-byte file.

I can successfully do a du in the same directory (which is what I thought gt5 was using), so I'm not sure what to check?

Good question, so I'll give it a +1, but I've also voted to move to SuperUser. – Mark Henderson Mar 11 '10 at 0:45
Is there a way I can move the question, I'm new to these stack exchange sites? I don't want to unnecessarily duplicate the question in two locations. I have a linked account there now. I'm also a little unclear on why this question is not appropriate here.. These are Linux servers I'm administering and there are nearly 4 thousand linux tagged questions that are all over the board here on Server Fault. Is there some rule of thumb as to which questions should go where? I'm just trying to learn the etiquette. – MT. Mar 11 '10 at 1:00
Hi Matthew, welcome to SF! SU is a better match for workstation-specific questions. No worries, it's simple enough to send the question over. If you have questions, the "meta" link at the bottom of the page has it all. – Kara Marfia Mar 11 '10 at 1:06

This appears to be a bug with mawk (the awk installed by default with Ubuntu Karmic). I opened a launchpad bug for it here. After switching to gawk, everything is working as expected.
