[htdig-dev] String.cc change in 3.2.0b4-20021229 rationale ?

[Budd, S. <s....@ic...>]

Hello 
 I notice that there is a fix in 3.2.0b4-20021229  String.cc but no mention
in the changelog.
What is the rational for change?

Greetings,

That was a trial forward-port from 3.1.6.  It is just defensive programmi=
ng=20
not to try using a string of negative length.

(Sorry about the lack of Changelog entry.  I've since discovered that=20
Changelog entries *aren't* generated as part of the CVS checkin process. =
=20
*sheepish grin* )
