[comp.sys.sun] Small bug in ofiles-4

marg@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (Margarita Suarez) (07/19/90)

There's a small (but annoyning) bug in ofiles-4 from titan.rice.edu:
there's a call to kvm_open() which is missing the last argument, the error
string.  if by chance /vmunix, /dev/kmem, /dev/mem, or /dev/drum are not
world readable (for example, on our machines), ofiles will dump core when
it tries to print out the nonexistent error string.

This should probably get fixed in the archives...

I noticed that bug also, when I was integrating the 4.0 and 4.1 support
into my version of ofiles, which has a number of other features.  It also
should run on any SunOS or Ultrix release, and even plain-jane 4.2 or 4.3
on Vaxes.

[[Ed's Note: This new integrated version replaces all previous versions in
the Sunspots archives on titan. -bdg]]
