Re: [PATCH] [UNTESTED] Fix sentinel in call to execlp in tools/iommu/vnc.c

[Harry Butterworth <harry@hebutterworth.freeserve.co.uk>]

The following code in vnc.c needs to change.  I'm not sure if the patch
below is the way to change it or if it should be changed in
tools/ioemu/patches/vnc-start-vncviewer or in both places.

Why is the code checked in in two places?

It's trivial, please commit a fix or explain exactly what is required
and I'll re-spin the patch.

Harry.
