[omniORB] omninames 4.1.0 for VC8 crashes when -errlog is specified

[John Stevenson-Hoare]

We are trying to use the 4.1.0 version built for VC8 of the omninames
executable.

 

If the -errlog parameter is supplied the program simply crashes out.
After examining the code it appears that the following line in
omniNames.cc is to blame:

 

Line 159:   setvbuf(stderr, 0, _IOLBF, 0);

 

The Visual Studio 2005 documentation states that the 4th argument to
this function, ie size, must be in the range 2 <= size <= INT_MAX
(2147483647). Clearly 0 is not in this range!

 

Having set the value to 2 and re-compiled, the program runs without
error.
