Bug#358752: linux-image-2.6.16-1-vserver-686: sendfile() does not work
Package: linux-image-2.6.16-1-vserver-686
Version: 2.6.16-2
Severity: normal
The sendfile() system call returns with a return value signalling success
(it returns the number of bytes it was requested to copy), but no data
is actually copied to the destination.
I recognized the same problem also in linux-image-2.6.16-1-vserver-k7,
but it seems to work fine in linux-image-2.6.16-1-k7.
