| |
Hi.
(My last mail to dougm@computone.com 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.
