["Petr \[Dingo\] Dvorak" <dingo@pdragon.inetsolve.com>]

Hello there,

i'm not even sure if this is a memory leak or not, but ccmalloc seems to think
so:

here is the chunk of code the line starting with strcpy is line 486:

    /*
     * Init time.
     */
    gettimeofday( &now_time, NULL );
    current_time = (time_t) now_time.tv_sec;
    strcpy( str_boot_time, ctime( &current_time ) );



now_time is struct timeval
current_time is time_t
str_boot_time is str_boot_time[255]

i'm running debian-potato kernel v2.2.5, and here is the libc6 package info:

Package: libc6
Status: install ok installed
Priority: required
Section: base
Installed-Size: 9568

Please let me know what to do with this info or what else you will need.


					Thanks,
