Brian Pomerantz writes:I've noticed a bug in the "autowidth" feature more, and is probably in
others. The call to the function get_terminal_width_height() passes
in a file descriptor but that file descriptor is never used, instead
the ioctl() is called with 0. In more_main() the call to
get_terminal_width_height() passes 0 as the file descriptor instead of
fileno(cin). This isn't a problem when you more a file (e....
As noted in a patch from Kendrick Hamilton, rmmod was onlyhalf way converted, and still used the old delete_module(),
call rather than a syscall, in one spot.
Fix broken arg parsing (was not passing pointer to items so p, argc, and argvwere only modified locally). Fix error reporting to properly describe why
ioctls fail.
Patch from vodz to fix the dynamic vars patch, which I should not have checked in. Vladimir writes:Your patch have many problem.
1. You always added + time(). This cannot reset RANDOM=value for debuging
with
replay sequential.
2. Hmm. I examine bash 2.04 source. This pseudorandom generator use low bits
of
counter value. You use high bits. This make bad pseudorandom values after

0-value. For example, if + time() do remove, your generator always return 0
after
first generate 0.

Paul Mundt, lethal at linux-sh dot org writes:Here's a follow-up replacement to the patch I sent earlier, this adjusts some
of the semantics of the dynamic variable setting. Namely, dynamic vars can hook
a set handler (which RANDOM uses to adjust the seed). They'll only lose their
dynamic status if they're unset.
I've used the same approach that bash does to come up with the random number,
mostly just for consistency.
For example:

Patch by Andrew Victor,In arpping.h, fix structure alignment of "struct arpMsg".
GCC can insert padding in the structure which causes udhcpd to send an
invalid ARP packet on the network. It will then not receive a valid
reply, which can cause it to assign an IP address that's already in use
on the network.
(With kernels before 2.4.20, the "struct ethhdr" in linux/if_ether.h
wasn't marked as packed. This is also an ...
Patch from Vernon Sauder.The off_t type is not a consistent size; it depends on the kernel options
(something about large file support). Therefore, the format string for
printing an address is not always the same.

When downloading files over slow network (e.g. wireless/
internet) using IE, sometimes it will stop downloading and
show error message 'connection closed' when the download
is almost complete. This is because IE can't handle server
close connection properly.
Apache http_main.c fix this problem by close the connection
after client close the connection. This patch do exactly the
same thing....
