No need to kick yourself. :-) I've already fixed it, for all of the attribute
functions. (There are still numerous uses of size_t which I didn't change.
They may or may not be appropriate.) The patch will be provided after I do
some testing, probably later today or tomorrow.
I had to make some changes to torture.c for this patch, but I have no idea how
that is used. I've heard numerous references to a torture test, but have never
run it. smbtorture (which I presume to be the executable that runs it) does
not seem to built by a simple "make". Is this something I should verify still
works, and if so, how do I use it?
