[LTP] Patch for LTP

[Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz>]

Hi!

Good catch, also thanks for the patch.

Can you please split the patch into separate patches?

You are doing unrelated changes each should be in a separate patch.

Also the comment in the compare function should rather be in the patch
description than in the code itself.

Lastly but not least if you could send the patches with git-send-email
or at least inline so that I can comment on the changes in the reply.
