William Moss billm...@acm.org On my Debian system, they seem to have applied the fix for strcpy. On my custom system, I recompiled bash 4.2 from source and when I tried to apply the latest patch: patch -b -i ./bash42-048 -p0 -o ./bash I get
patching file ./bash Hunk #1 succeeded at 36 with fuzz 2. patching file ./bash Hunk #1 succeeded at 262 with fuzz 2. Hunk #2 succeeded at 330 with fuzz 2. patching file ./bash Hunk #1 FAILED at 348. Hunk #2 FAILED at 362. 2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file ./bash.rej patching file ./bash Hunk #1 FAILED at 26. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file ./bash.rej Any ideas? I also tried this w/ 4.1 and 4.3, same result. Thank you. BTW: When I taught C at Bell Labs, in the mid 1980's, using strcpy() and strncpy() rather than memcpy() was a common error.
