Subject: [uml-devel] [PATCH 2/9] UML - Fix off-by-one bug in VM file creation
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2006 17:36:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200606292136.k5TLaR27010797@ccure.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)
Fix an off-by-one bug in temp file creation. Seeking to the desired
length and writing a byte resulted in the file being one byte longer
than expected.
