Does Red Hat know about the bug so they can fix it in an update? Anyway, I don't think the return value matters much -- I think when I wrote the code, I just figured that the allocation failed so it makes sense to return ENOMEM rather than whatever internal reason caused the allocation to fail. Does it make any practical difference one way or another? - R. _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
