4.2-STABLE from Jan 2000

>Description:

The file <sys/user.h> (needed for the KERN_PROC sysctl oid) uses variables
defined by <sys/param.h>, but neither is documented as necessary, and the
latter is not automatically included by the former.

>How-To-Repeat:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/sysctl.h>
#include <sys/user.h>

int
main()
{
}


>Fix:

include <sys/param.h> in <sys/user.h>.

It may be good to either document in sysctl(3) that <sys/user.h> is 
needed to interpret the KERN_PROC oid, or include it in <sys/sysctl.h>.
