Hi,
After a couple hours debugging code, I figured our an if() somewhere
had a trailing ; like this:
if (memcmp(p, COMMUNITY, strlen(COMMUNITY)) != 0);
continue; /* failed */
The code above will always reach "continue" even when memcmp() == 0.
I was surprised to see gcc doesn't report anything, I would expect a
"statement has no effect" warning.
Using gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)
Thanks!
Simon
