  Modified:    sys/kern  kern_sysctl.c
  Log:
  Fix the sysctl string routines to return as much of the
  string as possible and return ENOMEM if the entire string cannot
  be returned.  This brings the routines in line with how the man
  page says they work, and how the calling routines are expecting
  them to work.  This allows the dummy uname() routine in libc to
  obtain the version string, since the kernel version string is
  longer than that normally returned by the uname() routine.
  This is 3/4 of the fix for PR# 462.
