- fix to fix to uucp bug
-
- This is a correction to ittvax.149, which reported a fix to UUCP. I
- confess Art Feather was the one who made the patch and tested it; I
- reported the bug and the fix without having recompiled and tested (for
- shame, for shame). As a result, an editing error leaving in an extra
- ')' in my copy of the change never got caught.
-
- I won't go through the executable patch procedure again but in
- anlwrk.c, on or around line 67 which in the distribution reads:
-
- if (listp == NULL || *listp == NULL || listp > (list + LLEN)
-
- should read:
-
- if (listp == NULL || listp >= &list[LLEN] || *listp == NULL
-
- instead of:
-
- if (listp == NULL || *listp == NULL || listp >= &list[LLEN])
-
- as the earlier news article stated.
-
- Thanks to duke!trt who suggested the evaluation order change and
- wolfvax!root who pointed out the parenthesis error. The present
- evaluation order is ``safe'' but certainly not clear thinking.
-
- Sorry for the earlier bum steer.
