Applied, thanks. > + clock_offset = LLONG_MAX; INT64_MAX would me more strictly correct, but in practice it makes no difference. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
