SubjectRe: 1.3.88 - IP Masquerading crash - patch to fix
Date
The enclosed patch fixes a bug in the generation of 
/proc/net/ip_masquerade when there are more masquerading entries than
will fit in the buffer passed to the function - so it tramped on the
next page(s) of memory.

The real fix is very small, but since I couldn't see the bug in the
trees I recoded much of it to the same methods used to generate
/proc/net route - all lines are now a fixed 128 bytes in length,
allowing subsequent iterations to quickly skip over early entries and
so should be rather faster for large lists.

The patch is a unidiff relative to 1.3.88 or 1.3.89.

Nigel.
