This is a huge improvement in maintainability. My initial fix attempt was to just xstrdup() the strings (knowing that the performance would be horrible, but I was still investigating correctness issues at that point). And of course I ran into this same issue as I tried to make a copy of pathname. So even without the rest of the fix, this is definitely a good idea. :) -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
