>Description:
	This is a followup to a previous send-pr, identification
	bin/3850.  It provides a revised patch similar to the 
	source code in /usr/bin/cmp in the FreeBSD-3.0 SNAP release.
	The base conversion problem is still an issue in the 3.0 code.

        /usr/bin/cmp fails to perform according to the manual page
	cmp.1 in that nonzero values of skip1 and skip2 for the
	byte offsets results in an 'Invalid argument' error.
	This seems to be due to the fact that the mmap system
	call fails for non page aligned offsets.  Also, only
	base 10 conversion is allowed whereas the manual page 
	implies that octal and hexadecimal byte offsets can be
	entered.


>How-To-Repeat:
	prompt% /usr/bin/cmp file1 file2 skip1 skip2

	where skip1 and skip2 are nonzero byte offsets
	into file1 and file2 respectively.


>Fix:
	Apply the following patch to the sources in the 
	/usr/src/usr.bin/cmp directory:
