Message-ID: <19980209082738.B5fXTqD7Riye8z_tUd02eDmuG6yFMRJWtQvNQlFHHB8@z> (raw)

I tried to put up the Unix bootp on FreeBSD 2.2.5, and found
that the unixsrc version didn't compile. Accordingly I copied the
changes into the FreeBSD version and it still didn't work. The
reason is that the parser sees

vm="textp9  blah blah"

as three tokens, 

vm
=
"textp9  blah blah"

It then tests for 'text' on the front of the third token, sees '"tes',
and fails to parse.

As far as I can see the unixsrc version has this problem as well.

Can anyone who uses this version point out my duff logic? I won't
insult the list by proposing a fix.
