>Description:
This code fragment should be using %ul instead of %ld for both fields.
if (pflag) {
(void)snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "T%ld 0 %ld 0\n",
(long)statp->st_mtimespec.tv_sec,
(long)statp->st_atimespec.tv_sec);
(void)write(rem, path, strlen(path));
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a file with a st_mtime that has the high bit set. Attempt
to copy it with "rcp -p foo target:."
where target is a 64-bit system such as an Alpha (running D/U in this
case). Will fail with a "mtime.sec not delimited" screwup message
due to presence of a minus sign.
However, it should not be necessary to reproduce this to realize that
the given code fragment is a time bomb, so to speak...
