Looking back, I can only quote the one who wrote the patch:
See http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=10594.
However, looking at the code I have to assume that you are right.
It should probably be...

} else {
+return $img;
- $img = null;
}
+ return $img;
That looks a lot better to me.
(the final return seems to be never reached btw.)

I wonder if you are aware that this patch effectively results in the
function returning NULL when $bSendToBrowser is set to false (e.g. if
the programmer would like to store the image into a file instead of
sending it to the browser directly).

Since ap points to the memory inside gl_pathv, it is not correct to

application, and there may be various effects of such access.

Bug#560416: New version alters server configuration
Package: munin Version: 1.4.1-1 [resent as bug report as requested] Hi, after installing a new version of munin (I assume it was 1.4.1-1 or -2) I noticed a link in /etc/apache2/conf.d: munin - ../../munin/apache.conf that suddenly (a) adds /munin/ to all virtual hosts and (b) uses a new directory for /munin/ and (c) disables remote access and (c) enables password-less access from localhost. I am not exactly sure this is the desired behaviour. Notes: /var/cache/munin/www is fine for new installations. For upgrading existing installations it's questionable to use a directory without prior checking the current configuration, since users could have configured a different one in /etc/munin/munin.conf. Please don't get me wrong, I'm more or less fine with this as initial configuration, but I have some problems with altering an existing configuration that way.

\- for - why? we want the real minus character, not some hyphen
As UTF8 and all the ISO-8859-x fonts have the standard ASCII character set

After all, it is about the ASCII set now how you could pretty format that on

The fix should be implemented in the function imap_sync_mailbox() in imap.c. Instead of deleting all mail at once the list of UIDs should be limited to a certain size. Cyrus 2.1 doesn't like it to be larger than 8k for example, for Cyrus 2.2 the limit seems to be at 16k I've heard.

Petter Reinholdtsen wrote: [Martin Schulze] Petter, you can probably tell why insserv has trouble shutting down syslogd. Yes. It does not really have problems shutting down syslogd. The issue here is that I should have made it depend on $remote_fs instead of $local_fs, because with the current setup it need to stop before sendsigs kills it. The init.d script for sysklogd and klogd have a bug that make it report failure when stopping the daemon also when the daemon is already stopped. This is what is happing here. init.d/sendsigs already killed both, and later when the sysklogd and klogd scripts are executed during shutdown, they complain. The quick fix is to change the dependency information like this: diff -u /etc/init.d/sysklogd /tmp/sysklogd --- /etc/init.d/sysklogd2008-02-23 20:20:01.0 +0100 +++ /tmp/sysklogd 2008-05-08 21:42:35.0 +0200 @@ -3,8 +3,8 @@ ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: sysklogd -# Required-Start: $local_fs $time -# Required-Stop:$local_fs $time +# Required-Start: $remote_fs $time +# Required-Stop:$remote_fs $time # Should-Start: $network # Should-Stop: $network # Default-Start:2 3 4 5 Thanks.

Bug#473256: manpages: ftm.7 should be a link to feature_test_macros (or removed)
Michael Kerrisk wrote: I found some typos in ftm.7 (POSIX_C_SOURCE instead of _POSIX_C_SOURCE, 1999506 instead of 199506). As ftm.7 is a debian specific manpage, and another manpage feature_test_macros.7 was added to also document features.h, I think ftm.7 could be removed or converted to a link to feature_test_macros.7 Hi ftm.7 was the original name (in upstream 2.31) that I gave to what was later renamed feature_test_macros.7 (in upstream 2.33). The ftm.7 in Debian seems to be my original page before the rename. The page ftm.7 has been removed in favour of feature_test_macros.7. A link has been added for convenience.

Bug#464141: Write hfaxd's pid
Package: hylafax-server
Version: 4.3.1-7
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice if hylafax would store its process id (in /var/run
preferably) so that one can monitor this service with arbitrary
monitor software. At the moment no hylafax server stores its process
id somewhere.
With current start-stop-daemon this task can be out-sourced to Debian
tools without the need to change the HylaFAX code. It would be nice
if you could apply the attached patch to the rc script so that it will
write the hfaxd pid into a file.

Joey

Bug#405694: inet6 option in /etc/resolv.conf causes problems for a lot of programs
Aurelien Jarno wrote: Adding 'options inet6' in /etc/resolv.conf will cause many programs to crash or misbehave. The documentation currently contains (reformated): inet6 sets RES_USE_INET6 in _res.options. This has the effect of trying a query before an A query inside the gethostbyname() function, and of mapping IPv4 responses in IPv6 ``tunnelled form'' if no records are found but an A record set exists. A *big* warning should be given that setting this flag will cause programs to behave strangely, as they will get back an record and not the expected A record Additionally one could consider to remove this feature as 'tunneled forms', with which most likely ::a.b.c.d or :::a.b.c.d are meant are deprecated by the IETF as they only cause issues, for instance like these. For instance a 2.6.x kernel will report the following when doing a IPv4 traceroute (pkg: traceroute-nanog 6.3.10-2): traceroute forgot to set AF_INET in raw sendmsg. Fix it! Also SpamAssassin (3.1.7-1) will segfault when this option is used. Separate bugs will be failed against these packages, referencing this bug. The option behaves exactly as described. There is no bug there, except maybe a lack of documentation. Downgrading the severity to minor and reassigning this bug to the package manpages, with provide this manpage.

Bug#462662: Set UUID for swap space
Package: util-linux
Version: 2.13.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi LaMont,
a friend of mine is looking into the possibility of cloning Debian
(and other) systems automatically and stomped over swap partitions
getting assigned new UUIDs every time the new harddisk is partitioned
and swap is created.
His reseach lead him to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/66637
which refers to a patched version of mkswap:
http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core/old/src/mkswap-uuid-0.1.0-2.tar.bz2
I'm attaching it for reference and in case the above URL becomes void.
It would be nice if you could apply this patch and send it upstream.
It's essential when partitions are to be recognised by their uuid and
not by their old device path anymore.
Regards,
Joey

Bug#460904: Mutt cannot delete too many mails via IMAP
Package: mutt Version: 1.5.17-2 It seems that Mutt is not too cute with regards server-side size limits. Scenario: mutt -f imap://mail.domain.de Mailbox : ~50k mails tag via pattern: ~20k mails tag-delete ;d sync $ The server responds with string too long or something and the mailbox is closed. Sometimes even 2k tagged and deleted mails are sufficient to cause this. I haven't investigated this any further but I assume that Mutt sends a large string, trying to delete all tagged mails in one action. Unfortunately the server doesn't like that. It would be nice if Mutt would split up the delete line into several. Regards, Joey -- Linux - the choice of a GNU generation.

Michael Kerrisk wrote: Under the current setup, I suppose I could just reply saying I fixed the bug and not bother with the Debian control messages, but then it leaves a detective job for the downstream maintainer trying to work out whether to tag a bug as fixed-upstream or not. If it saves you time, just do it. Usually, you respond with the version of the upstream package you are applying the patch to. That information together with your wonderful verbose Changes file is sufficient for me to determine whether a bug can be closed and the like. The bug reports would last longer in the state open instead of fixed-upstream, but for the Debian environment that doesn't matter since the bug is still open inside Debian anyway.

Bug#441535: Support for QUERY_PATH
Package: queuegraph
Version: 1.1.1-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Without this patch the queuepath CGI only understands arguments
directly added to the request path and expects the web server to
work accordingly. This may not be the case all the time.
This patch adds support for QUERY_PATH so that the system still
works. This permits the use of URLs of the form
queuegraph.cgi?/image.png as well.
Before the images were included with path components like:
/cgi-bin/queuegraph.cgi/queuegraph_0.png
With this patch a second way exists as well:
/cgi-bin/queuegraph.cgi?/queuegraph_0.png
It would be nice if this could be applied to the Debian package and
also fed upstream.
Regards,
Joey

Bug#432594: fmirror is unable to mirror / directory
Package: fmirror Version: 0.8.4-13 Tags: patch The regular version of fmirror is unable to mirror the / (root) directory of a remote host via FTP. This is the common situation for chroot+FTP environments that should be mirrored. fmirror will fail with the following error message: 20:16:24 Operation failed: 550 No such directory. 20:16:24 Could not CWD to '..', aborting The above problem is that with out -T given fmirror tries to execute CWD .. on the remote host which is not possible in the / directory. When this is fixed, fmirror will try to mirror the remote directory to the local / directory instead of the given local directory due to a blatantly ignorant %s/%s format string. The attached patch fixes this. Regards, Joey -- Never trust an operating system you don't have source for! Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists.

Bug#428964: klogd freaks in vservers
Tobias Vogel wrote: Package: klogd Version: 1.4.1 Severity: grave klogd randomly starts using 99 cpu.if work on the certain vserver is still possible, then killing the klogd (-9) is the only thing to stop the process. I assume that you don't have an idea on what's going on there, right? Just to see if this problem still exists, could you test the current CVS HEAD of sysklogd? Just copy the debian/ directory and compile it. http://www.infodrom.org/projects/sysklogd/cvs.php Regards, Joey -- It's practically impossible to look at a penguin and feel angry.
