Description Wojciech Milek 2005-09-29 12:43:28 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
I noticed that durring changing many files using dos2unix tools some files are not converted with message:

dos2unix: problems renaming './stcfg/cmd5528/d2utmpTBxaZb  ' to './stcfg/cmd5528/reg5528.h'
          output file remains in './stcfg/cmd5528/d2utmpTBxaZb'
dos2unix: problems converting file ./stcfg/cmd5528/reg5528.h


Temporary filename created by dos2unix contains some additional spaces or white chars. 


This problem is caused by wrong allocation size and if size of temporary filename string % 4 == 0 end of this string is overwriten by next allocation :-)
 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dos2unix-3.1

How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. find . -name *.c - exec {} \;
2.
3.
  

Actual Results:  dos2unix: problems renaming './stcfg/cmd5528/d2utmpTBxaZb' to './stcfg/cmd5528/reg5528.h'
          output file remains in './stcfg/cmd5528/d2utmpTBxaZb'
dos2unix: problems converting file ./stcfg/cmd5528/reg5528.h



Expected Results:  no such messages
