Summary: [patch] dd(1): Incorrect casting of arguments
Product: Base System
Version: 11.0-CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: Needs Triage
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin

Better argument handling patch
dd(1) casts many of its numeric arguments from uintmax_t to intmax_t and back
again to detect whether or not the original arguments were negative. This is
not correct.
Attached is a patch that removes the pointless casts, and detects negative
numbers slightly more reliably.
