Hi Paul,

I tested it again and I found out that I can reproduce it only on i686. S390x, PPC64 and x86_64 works fine.

I checked the source code and it seems to be correct, no print limitation, no strncpy limitation, but there is difference between list of interface print and the other prints. They use name of interface from different structure. First print use name of interface from the structure witch is returned by function getifaddrs, the other prints use internal structure. Data is copied into this structure from the structure returned by function getifaddrs. I think the problem could be there.

Okay, I've been able to recreate this by installing amtu.i686 on my x86_64 system.  I'll look into it (thanks for your investigation above) and update this BZ when I have a fix to try.

--- Additional comment from Paul Moore on 2014-05-29 15:38:09 EDT ---

Just an additional datapoint for my benefit, compiling the amtu sources with '-m32' on x86_64 results in the same flawed behavior (expected, but always worth verification).

--- Additional comment from Paul Moore on 2014-05-29 15:51:16 EDT ---

Ah ha!  I found the problem.  The issue involves using a sizeof(...) instead of a strlen(...) on a 'char *'; we don't see this on 64-bit systems as the pointer is 8 bytes, which is large enough for the reproducer above, but on 32-bit systems the point is only 4 bytes which is too short.

Fix coming soon ...

--- Additional comment from Paul Moore on 2014-05-29 16:40:49 EDT ---

Could you verify the above patch on your test system?  It works for me, but having another successful test is always nice.

--- Additional comment from Jaroslav Aster on 2014-05-30 05:02:48 EDT ---

Hi Paul,

I tested it and it works. Thanks.

I reviewed the patch and I have one comment. strdup is ok, but there is still old comment above it and it does not make sense now.

/* need to malloc size of string plus null terminator */

The comment is still correct, the allocation and copy operations are just abstracted away in the strdup() call.  Regardless, I'll go ahead and remove the comment in the released package as I see how it could be confusing to some.

Expect a final build soon.
