Looking at the ed25519 code, these defines are unused. They appear to be unused
upstream as well (in djt's supercop ed25519/ref implementation), so maybe this

The imsg_init(3) man page currently doesn't make it clear whether
this library can be used for remote communication.
The current text reads:
The imsg functions provide a simple mechanism for communication
between processes using sockets. Each transmitted message is

Right now the printf(3) family of manpages make no reference to errno.
Glancing at __vfprintf, it appears that most of the erroneous paths do
set errno.
Should the manual be amended to reflect this behavior, so that users

I chose to keep the condition simpler and the existing constraints intact for
minimal impact, but I would agree it's better to consolidate with the existing
check.
Your diff looks good to me, +1.
Fix possible reads past the end of the buffer.
Found by random fuzz testing (zzuf). Without the fix the fuzzer crashes
in several seconds; with the patch, the fuzzer runs clean for hours.

On slowish (under 1GHz) Pentium boards, the idle interrupt time was

interfaces was far more painful and important to fix.

Blocks of Facebook postings, fragments of badly written web pages,

More seriously, scrambling indirect blocks when deleting a file
removes one more clue. I've used indirect blocks to find deleted file\
