You can make a trivial test program for it, and I'm all for fixing it, but there are existing kernels out in the field we have to deal with that do this, and fixing future versions doesn't help those. I've adjusted my code not to call the function with those arguments so I can avoid hitting it. (We're arguing over the behavior of a NOP. Yes, the kernel is doing the NOP wrong, but if it's a NOP my code shouldn't bother doing it.) > Rich Rob (Having reread the above twice I'm _fairly_ certain it's intelligible english, but going bedwards and practicing horizontality may be advisable at this point.) _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list Toybox@lists.landley.net http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
