Now only "+2048" string remains. It gets passed to strtoul(3), which accepts number with an optional sign prefix, so the string gets successfully parsed to the number 2048. I think that the '+' sign is there to visually indicate being 2048 or bigger. Someone probably wrote that in the past and it's been carried over ever since. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
