Date: Mon, 26 Feb 1996 18:35:39 -0800 From: Paul Traina Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Does anyone know why the "errno" value in the hash structure was renamed to "error"? This seems to be a gratuitous change that was made to the hash code, and I'd like to reverse it out if no one has a particularly good reason for its existance. You two show up as reviewers of this code, so perhaps you can explain it to me? I've incorporated the latest version of the db code into the csrg branch and would like to bring it into the mainline. I'll preserve these changes if they serve a purpose, but I see none served here after looking at this pretty closely, so my default inclination is to revert the code to match the original author's.
