Yes, but for IPv4/6 it's not an issue. Some implementations might handle all-zeros and the spec _currently_ calls for it. In this case an alignment would be good. I guess I'll just go ahead and file a problem report with the spec. Maybe the Unix vendors will test their implementations in provide feedback. - -- ➧ Ulrich Drepper ➧ Red Hat, Inc. ➧ 444 Castro St ➧ Mountain View, CA ❖ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG8Vam2ijCOnn/RHQRAlw2AJwPCkD/GdX5YWCjsidhNXkGT71SiQCeLUDX XimSWS2NMI9T8QxnnV3FDQ4= =8XbG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
