In case anyone is interested,
I stumbled into this cute bug in user ppp (from the 2.1-RELEASE CD). It
causes chatscripts to fail to to match any string that is immediately
preceeded by a leading substring of itself.
I.e. when expecting "FooBar", "FooFooBar" will pass by unnoticed, or (how I
found out), it is not possible to wait for a "Password:" prompt using the
string "sword:"...
Here is one way to fix it:
*** chat.c.org Fri Jan 19 13:06:00 1996
--- chat.c Fri Jan 19 13:06:53 1996
***************
*** 266,272 ****
return(MATCH);
}
} else {
! s = str;
if (inp == inbuff+ IBSIZE) {
bcopy(inp - 100, inbuff, 100);
inp = inbuff + 100;
--- 266,272 ----
return(MATCH);
}
} else {
! s = (ch == *str) ? str+1 : str;
if (inp == inbuff+ IBSIZE) {
bcopy(inp - 100, inbuff, 100);
inp = inbuff + 100;
BTW: The chat program doesn't have this problem.
