When you're doing such an audit, return statements in the middle of the function are red flags and make the audit more difficult. :-) But in these cases it's just straight returns and there are no resources to release so I'll apply this patch, thanks! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
