[PATCH] nfs4-acl-tools : nfs4_setfacl' failed with unexpected messages if the format of the input file is incorrect.

[faizan husain <faizanh@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

On RHEL5.5 and above releases,
read ACL entries to set from file leads to a segmentation fault on pp64,
more over the same problem does not show up for x86_64 architecture.

here is what i tried.
mounted a file system over nfs4.

#rpm -qa | grep nfs4
nfs4-acl-tools-0.3.3-5.el6.ppc64

'nfs4_setfacl' failed with unexpected message:
#nfs4_setfacl -S file4 file1
*** glibc detected *** nfs4_setfacl: double free or corruption (out):
0x08007760 ***
expected out should be like
Scanning ACE string 'abcd' failed.
Failed while inserting ACE(s).
