Subject: Fix for shared flat binary format in 2.6.30
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:36:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A3F5EAE.7020402@t-online.de> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 513 bytes --]

This fixes a crash in 2.6.30 with shared flat binaries.  prepare_binfmt 
now requires a cred pointer to be set up, which isn't done in binfmt_flat.c.
