The eisa code was already broken, just not badly enough to crash the
machine instantly. I comitted a fix that was essentially what I
believed the author meant to do, but the code still didn't look
right so I also brought it up on the lists and kept it dog-ear'd.
How Mr. ignoromous Nate could construe this to mean that I was trying
to brush something under the rug is beyond me. As I said to Julian,
I probably shouldn't have made the committ, but the fact is that I
not only left the module on my hotlist, I also immediately brought
the potential problem to the attention of the entire list and thence,
when reminded, onto the scsi list as well -- the problem was NOT
being ignored or brushed under the rug. It had NOTHING whatsoever to
do with cleaning up a compiler warning.
As mistakes go, this was a pretty minor one. Only an idiot would
come to a different conclusion.
