Comment 1 Kjartan Maraas 2007-01-16 09:26:23 UTC

Created attachment 80369 [details] [review]
possible fix

This could help since it seems we're passing NULL to strcmp() here.

Comment 2 Jeffrey Stedfast 2007-01-25 16:58:29 UTC

looks safe to commit, logic seems right and obviously it prevents a NULL from being passed to strcmp ;)

Comment 3 Srinivasa Ragavan 2007-02-12 09:09:24 UTC

Please commit.

Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2007-02-12 10:58:15 UTC

Commited to both branches.
