ASSERT(MUTEX_HELD(mod_lock)); if ((fp = ctf_bufopen(ctfsect, symsect, strsect, error)) == NULL) + dprintf(?cannot open ctf_bufopen()?); return (NULL); Even without looking at the bug report or the relevant source file, it's obvious by inspection that this cannot be the correct fix, nor can it have been tested. Agreed here. Judging from the number of similar postings, I'm guessing that some professor at the Amrita School of Engineering has set Find and fix a Solaris bug as a piece of coursework for an undergraduate course. Should the work be discussed in the open and the certain professor can access their students' work here hence making sure sloppy works just don't get marks :) Hint, hint to Archana and all other students from Amrita! Now whilst it's good for Solaris' outreach to involve these students, and good for their education, I have to question the value of the exercise if the students don't take the time or care to develop correct solutions and submit them in a useful way... It just ends up offloading their education onto the people who sponsor the fixes. Yes. There is a danger as such. But this is norm associated with OS development. However, this is a valuable experiences for all involved in this instance plus the potential of some of these students may eventually be part of new blood for OpenSolaris in the time to come. -Ghee Pete. ___ request-sponsor mailing list request-sponsor at opensolaris.org

Synopsis: *mv* gives cryptic error when applied to
unix domain sockets
Category/Subcategory : utility:file
Path : /solarisws/usr/src/cmd/mv/mv.c
this problem exist for unix domain sockets since 'mknod' (used in mv.c)
cannot create socket files.
value for S_IFSOCK = 49152(int)
= c000(hex)
fix is, to check whether the file is a unix domain socket or not.

Actually it's Sun's fault - marketing decided to run a contest giving away iPods, laptops, and desktop computers to students in India who submit bug fixes to OpenSolaris or one of Sun's other open source projects: http://in.sun.com/communities/univ/codeforfreedom/ Though since there's also a bonus prize to the school with the most student submissions, some professor may have done that as well to win his school that prize. Nothing wrong with that. Didn't mean to suggest there was anything wrong with it, other than we're clearly unprepared for the amazing level of response we've gotten - I haven't checked, but based on my memory of the e-mail levels on this list, I think we got more sponsor requests this weekend than any other month since the program started. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering

[request-sponsor] Fix ready for Bug ID 6355611
Hello I have the fix ready for the following bug: Bug ID: 6355611 Synopsis: setbuf misuse Description: A subtle bug exists in fmt.c (using the source cross referencer the bug is visible else where). main() calls setbug passing a buffer that exists in main's stack. It can occur that the data in the buffer is not used until exit causes the buffer to be flushed, however the buffer is technically out-of-scope and should not be used. Category: utility Sub-Category: formatter I would request someone to sponsor this bug. I have have already submitted my Sun Contributor Agreement, but I am still awaiting my SCA number.
