Maybe this is already common knowledge, but it surprised me. I was reviewing the patches I sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and noticed that a patch I submitted got corrupted.
The message: http://www.xfree86.org/devel/archives/patch/2002-Sep/0008.shtml The attachment: http://www.xfree86.org/devel/archives/patch/2002-Sep/handle_vetoed_suspend.diff This is the troublesome line: + if (errno = EBUSY) Of course that shouldn't be an assignment...and, in fact, it wasn't in the mail I sent out. I think there is a bug in a MIME parser somewhere, probably in hypermail, that collapsed the == to a =. I don't know how the process of patch merging works, but this sort of corruption of attachments could really waste some time and introduce some subtle bugs. -- G.
