Re: segfault in libpcap

[Florent.Drouin () alcatel-lucent fr]

      Hello Paolo,


I am using a Debian Sarge distribution, with kernel 2.6.15.4.
In the kernel, most of the features (like USB support) are disabled, as I
am testing a specific driver, and I do not want to have conflicts.
I did check on an other PC, with USB support, and the directory
/proc/bus/usb is present.
So, you are right, the missing directory is due to my specific
configuration (no USB support), that's probably why the problem was not
detected.

Regards
Florent

You are right the bug is there. Thanks for pointing it out.

Your patch seams to be reversed, so I repost it in order to semplify the
mantainers work.

BTW what kernel version/distro are you running ? it's strange to not found
the directory /proc/bus/usb...

ciao,

Paolo
