Hello Dick, I don't have Dell hardware to reproduce reported issue. I've checked patch attached to ticket and I agree calling memset() never hurts. However, have you noticed variable 'current_arg' in 'lib/ipmi_delloem.c' is a global variable? I mean, it feels really odd to modify global variable just like that. Have you debugged it further or is your patch just a quick hack around? Anyway, I have nothing against applying these memset() calls to 'src/ipmishell.c', but I definitely would like to hear from somebody either from Dell or knowledgeable of 'lib/ipmi_delloem.c'. about your patch to 'lib/ipmi_delloem.c'. They definitely will, or should, know better about code in 'lib/ipmi_delloem.c' and what it can or can't do. My $0.02 USD.
