Aucbvax.5395 net.2bsd-bugs utzoo!decvax!duke!chico!harpo!cbosg!ihnss!ucbvax!dist2 Sun Dec 6 02:56:52 1981 FIXED: bugs in src/diff/diff{dir,reg}.c There appear to be two bugs in the 2.8BSD diff source. In diffdir.c a cast to unsigned is needed in a malloc call and in diffreg.c a fprintf call needs a stream argument.

Quite right. The necessary changes (as described previously) are:

diff src/diff/diffdir.c.old src/diff/diffdir.c 188c188 dp = (struct direct *)malloc((unsigned)stb.st_size + sizeof (struct direct));

diff src/diff/diffreg.c.old src/diff/diffreg.c 170c170 fprintf(stderr, "diff: ");

These changes are necessary on tapes written before 12/5/81. The latter bug (in diffreg) exists in 4.1BSD as well.
