I was having a problem with mkcramfs on cygwin creating symbolic links for the compressed linux filesystem.
mkcramfs uses malloc to allocate a buffer that it sends to the readlink function in cygwin path.cc That function uses memcpy to do a copy of the link into a buffer. Neither mkcramfs or readlink is null-terminating the string representing the link. Probably both are at fault. I have fixed my problem by zeroing the buffer in mkcramfs before calling readlink, but it would probably be beneficial if readlink terminates the returned string, if there is room. -- ______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.
