[PATCH] Make new_utsname fields use the proper length constant

From: Dan Smith
Date: Fri Apr 17 2009 - 13:51:21 EST


The members of the new_utsname structure are defined with magic numbers
that *should* correspond to the constant __NEW_UTS_LEN+1. Everywhere else,
code assumes this and uses the constant, so this patch makes the structure
match.

Originally suggested by Serge here:
