Package: pstack Version: 1.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream In multiple places in the pstack source, errno is checked as an error indicator, without first checking the retval of the function. This is wrong according to the errno manpage:
Its value is significant only when the call returned an error (usually -1), and a function that does succeed is allowed to change errno. BTW, does pstack still work correctly? $ pstack 8987 8987: gaim -d (No symbols found) 0xb77b5d16: ???? (8341a08, 8, 63, 8341a08, 8, 15530) + 40 0xb786ddbc: ????

It says that it needs unstripped binaries; why? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
