[PATCH] strings: use '-0' as option will meet infinite loop

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	When I use the command "strings" like this: "strings -0 file" will trap in infinite loop. 
	The binutils version is 2.17.50.0.6. Has this bug been fixed?
	If not, here is my patch.
	Thank you.
