[gentoo-dev] [BUG and PATCH] Does dcron need a space at the end of each

["Christian HOFFMANN" <christian.hoffmann@noos.fr>]

I just fired gdb to find the source of this problem and found the source 
of the problem being at line 178 of database.c

was: 			buf[strlen(ptr)-1] = 0;
is now on my system:	buf[strlen(ptr)] = 0;

This line was chopping 2 char at the end of the line the last one of the 
command and the newline. You have to remove one char but indexing 
starts at 0 and strlen give the number of char.

I'm new to patch submission, howto ?

Hi,

I was trying to use dcron on my linux box and found it not working.

To make it work I had to add a space at each end of line in my crontab.

Is this "feature" documented somewhere or is it a bug ?

I use dcron-2.7-r7 with a 2.4.17-r5 kernel on a Gentoo Linux 
distribution.
