Does the kernel crash or does the user think strange things while every thing just keeps on working? It's a quality of implementation issue. It is just one example of a place where we use these kinds of assumptions to index tables and the like. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
