Hi.
(My last mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] bounced. Is there another
maintainer for drivers/char/ip2main.c somewhere?)
The patch below tries to avoid dereferencing (potential)
NULL pointers. It was reported by the Stanford team way
back and applies against 245ac16 and 246p6. It could
probably be done nicer but that would take someone that
actually understands this code.
