Re: [PATCH] libnuma: add check for return value of numa_node_to_cpus

[Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com>]

Hi Petr,

Thanks for the patch.
Sorry for the delay.  I'm getting used to a new work flow for
numactl/libnuma source. (it is also now at https://github.com/numactl/numactl)

I started a new release candidate series for 2.0.11:
  ftp://oss.sgi.com/www/projects/libnuma/download/
   your patch is in   numactl-2.0.11-rc1.tar.gz

Your patch is important for machines with non-contiguos node numbers, and
I don't seem to have a system to test that.  So I'm depending on all interested
parties to test it.
