Hi,

I have just submitted ker/51074: pointer arithmatic error in ugen.c
( http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3Dkern%2F51074 )
with this description :

I believe there is a pointer arithmatic error in line 965 of ugen.c .
The entire piece of code reads :

961:    /* throw away oldest input if the buffer is full */
962:    if(sce->fill < sce->cur && sce->cur <=3D sce->fill + count) {
963:            sce->cur +=3D count;
964:            if(sce->cur >=3D sce->limit)
965:                    sce->cur =3D sce->ibuf + (sce->limit - sce->cur);
966:            DPRINTFN(5, ("ugen_isoc_rintr: throwing away %d bytes\n",
967:                        count));
978:    }

count gets added to sce->cur .
if the pointer equals/exceeds the end of the buffer, we move it to the
beginnen of the buffer (plus the X bytes it was past the end).

If sce->cur exceeds sce->limit, (sce->cur - sce->limit) would be a negati=
ve
value. (resulting in a sce->cur pointer sitting X bytes before the beginn=
ing
of the buffer)
-- end --

Could someone please check if I'm correct and apply the patch?

ps: thanks to some mailing-weirdness the pr is marked confidential, which=
 it=20
shouldn't have been.. :S

thanks,
Daan
