Hi, short update: > http://arbeit.hilses.de/hw/vdr-dirtyhack.patch isn't available anymore, instead, I did a cleaner patch against 1.3.35, it's available here: http://arbeit.hilses.de/hw/vdr-1.3.35-isoc-scanf-compat.patch it cleans up (s)scanf invocations. Care has been taken to free all allocated memory. Maybe even under circumstances where the original version would leak, can't really tell. The source can now be compiled against uclibc with these patches applied and some occurence of "lround (...)" rewritten to "rint(...)" (not in the patch, there may be other ways to archive the same). BTW, there was a note in timers.c regarding mysterious things happening "if the last %a argument results in an empty string". It possibly won't result in an empty string, however, because there isn't even a match under these circumstances, so no memory gets allocated and sscanf shouldn't count this as a match in its return value. Maybe I'm just too ignorant to the the problem here... In my patch, this code path is cleaned, but I hope I didn't delete something still necessary (I don't think so, but you never know). -hwh
