>Description:
/usr/src/usr.bin/fetch/ftp.c has this bit of code...
errno = 0;
ul = strtoul(env, &ep, 0);
if (*env && *ep && errno == 0 && ul <= INT_MAX)
fs->fs_timeout = ul;
and the man page for strtoul says...
unsigned long
strtoul(const char *nptr, char **endptr, int base)
...
If endptr is non nil, strtoul() stores the address of the first invalid
character in *endptr. If there were no digits at all, however, strtoul()
stores the original value of nptr in *endptr. (Thus, if *nptr is not `\0'
but **endptr is `\0' on return, the entire string was valid.)
but we have the endptr bit the wrong way around (i think.. hey.. I only
work here :)
>How-To-Repeat:
Set FTP_TIMEOUT to a valid time (ie something less than INT_MAX) and watch
this statement bail 'cause *ep is never true.
>Fix:
Add a bang.. or for the humour impaired apply this patch.
