Subject: [9fans] IOHDRSZ
Date: Thu,  4 Apr 2013 15:50:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1d60ad5fac2f22abe5687a2325ab9c63@ladd.quanstro.net> (raw)

i wonder if  the typical use of IOHDRSZ is correct.

many programs set
	msize = bufsize + IOHDRSIZE
but Twrite has 2+4+8+4=18 bytes overhead, so
i think this assumption is going to lead to
6-byte buffer overruns.
