Just because you're using snprintf doesn't mean that the resulting string will be NULL terminated. You need to check the return value of snprintf and ensure that it fits within the buffer and that it ended up being NULL terminated. If you do that then you don't need to use strlen() either. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
