Re: Can string overruns overwrite snmpd.c?

Thanks Dave,
 
I've located the source of the problem.  And yes, string overruns does not corrupt the source files.

No.

Buffer over-runs could potentially corupt the run-time image of running

code.


Whatever is causing the problems you are seeing, it can not possibly
be string overruns from your new module.
