I thought about those patches when you reported your problem but they looked correct at first glance, and generally Al is known for pushing clean and valid work. > I'm wondering if I can apply the patches by Al Viro one by one to know which > one broke it. Yes it should be possible, people generally try to push incrementally valid patches. Please CC Al with your findings. Maybe you'll get him caught with a bug in his fixes, but get prepared to get fried on your chair if you're wrong :-) It is also possible that the code he fixed was really buggy but worked because of another bug remaining somewhere else.
