Re: Fwd: Any user can panic OpenBSD machine

Just for the hell of it, I tested this under linux 2.1.x - no problems.

Not, according to the source in front of me, the size is actually 2^32-1 (or
2^64-1 on 64-bit platforms), not negative because the length parameter is of
type size_t which is an unsigned integer.

It does not return EINVAL (as, I believe, somebody else reported).
