Good timing. Matthew Woehlke recently reported failure of the df/total-verify test. Looking into it, we found that one of those values was UINTMAX_MAX - 1.
Oops, I saw what the patch was and assumed you (Jim) sent it. Sorry for the confusion, Paul! (...that would explain why you mentioned a different platform ;-).)
As Jim notes, AIX gives (unsigned)-2 (i.e. UINTMAX_MAX - 1), not (unsigned)-1 (UINTMAX_MAX), so the previous patch won't actually fix the problem on AIX.
Adjusting if (total != UINTMAX_MAX) to if (total < UINTMAX_MAX - 1) should suffice. -- Matthew Please do not quote my e-mail address unobfuscated in message bodies. -- "Yoda of Borg am I.
