So that the original td is passed to fo_close(). I am curious whether it would cause further NULL pointer dereference down the stack. --Z9agJUjEdoIgOYrd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk7g2JQACgkQC3+MBN1Mb4i46gCeJajcv9yq4b8XR6I2MJTkv8v9 d3kAnjaQt88NwYQ3M9l993qUwzcl0nHv =/YUo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Z9agJUjEdoIgOYrd-- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
