fix for uninitialized variable in  logrotate.c, port to Solaris 8.

Comment 2 matti aarnio 2002-10-07 12:34:44 UTC

Attached patch is port to Solaris 8.

As Solaris 8 does not contain  asprintf() and friends, a reimplementation of
them as been necessary, but that implementation has gotten it slightly wrong,
thus it does not like to receive uninitialized target variable..

The fix is trivialish; the first realloc() must be changed to malloc() at
vasprintf.c  file.  This implementation is usable only at this application, it
isn't generic fool-proof thing.

Comment 4 Elliot Lee 2002-12-10 19:35:34 UTC

Hmm, seems like there is a Solaris port of sorts already in CVS, I think I will release 3.6.6 
without these changes and have you send any needed patches against that.
