Greetings,

I've put a webrev containing a proposed fix for bug 4754400 "exrecover
SEGV's when faced with more than 50 preserved files" here:

http://cr.opensolaris.org/~swalker/4754400/

It's a small change and I don't think it is the perfect solution, but
it does fix the problem (at least I believe so and my testing seems to
play that out). This bug has supposedly been around since at least
SunOS 3.5, so I reckon it deserves some attention.

Interestingly enough, looking around the web at other versions of this
file revealed that all of them still have this error (as far as I can
tell).

I know that:
1) it doesn't fix the algorithm by which exrecover determines which
lucky 50 preserve files are shown (broken imo)

2) It doesn't fix any lint errors that were already there

3) It doesn't fix any cstyle errors

At this point, I'm just looking for reviewers to comment on the proposed fix.

Thanks,
