Hi folks With quite some embarassment I have to admit to a rather bad and stupid bug in floss-1.1. It has been brought to my attention last Sunday and is fixed now, in floss-1.3, but quite a few packages on ITUGLIB had been build using that broken libfloss.a. Background: the floss_read() and floss_write() funktions that are there to split read()/write() into chunks of at most SSIZE_MAX (53248) bytes reported a wrong byte count (the last byte count rather the grand total). So every program using these calls that reads/writes files larger than 53248 bytes and checks the return values of the read/write is doomed to fail. As bad as that sounds, I've been using bash and vim on a more or less daily basis and not noticed any problem with them so far, yet they are potentially affected (see below), so maybe I was only lucky to not have been biten by the bug. I've rebuilt all the potentially affected packages (list follows), so if you downloaded any of them since about 14Feb2011, please load them again now (some packages I have just rebuild and replaced on ITUGLIB, some others I updated to the latest version) The list: floss-1.1-src.tar.gz (left on ITUGLIB for historical reasons) updated to floss-1.3! bash-4.1.11-nse.tar.gz (nsr version to follow) bash-4.2.20-nse.tar.gz (nsr version to follow) ncurses-5.7-nse.tar.gz updated to ncurses-5.9 php-5.3.8-nse.tar.gz readline-6.2-nse.tar.gz updated to readline-6.2.002 samba-3.5.*-nse.tar.gz updated to samba-3.5.12 samba-3.6.*-nse.tar.gz updated to samba-3.6.1 tack-1.07-nse.tar.gz unzip-6.0-nse.tar.gz vim-7.2-nse.tar.gz vim-7.3-nse.tar.gz patchlevel 359 updated to patchlevel 372 wget-1.13.1-nse.tar.gz updated to wget-1.13.4! zip-3.0-nse.tar.gz zlib-1.2.5-nse.tar.gz I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience caused! Oh and for those who need the URL to ITUGLIB: http://ituglib.connect-community.org -- Bye, Jojo

Did you really need to quote the entire article? (Did you need to
respond at all?)
