Description of Problem: The logrotate behaves erratically, and can crash. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Rawhide source 3.6.5, ported to Solaris 8. How Reproducible: Highly configuration dependent Additional Information: Will attach a patch for this.
Created attachment 79184 [details] fix for uninitialized variable in logrotate.c, port to Solaris 8.
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.
Created attachment 79185 [details] Pure port to Solaris8, corrected asprintf() reimplementation.
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.
