I went down to dsobject.c, utcopy.c (there I was sure it could be..., etc.). I still have not checked why this is in utobject.c..., will try do so later. I tested your patch against 10.3. The handle is NULL now instead of uninitialized or corrupted. I tested this (and this was so hard to debug, I had to reboot for each test..) on an HP machine with a modified DSDT: I removed the passive reference and replaced it with a undefined one. Now also evaluate_reference must check against the NULL handle, I will attach an adjusted patch against 10.3. Alexey, what do you think. I very much like to add this to 10.3 (not sure about SLE[SD], we could get problems there also..., hmm when the machine is certified they have to revert the BIOS breakage, on the other hand we are still in Beta phase...). We could trigger NULL pointer accesses with this and cause regressions? IMO this should go into 11.0 and 2.6.25-rcX get at least some weeks testing and then possibly back to 10.3? I already broke cpufreq for a lot 10.3 machines once, I don't want to slip into something similar again... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
