Re: bin/43587: stupid error message during boot from sysctl if no COMPAT40 in

[Wolfgang Stukenbrock <Wolfgang.Stukenbrock%nagler-company.com@localhost>]

Hi,

not 100% OK, but if you replace the line
"if (memcmp(&o, &i, so) == 0)"
in write_number() with
"if (memcmp(o, i, so) == 0)"
it works.

o and i are of type void*, and it makes no sence to compare the pointers.
The string part has not been tested by me, but it looks good to me.

The missing free() you've added should go into the distribution in any case.

By the way: your version fo sysctl.c seems to be more recent than the 
version in 5.0.2.
I've added and tested the patch to the 5.0.2 version.

I think this should go to the next available distribution.

Thanks.

W. Stukenbrock
