Bugfix in reset_variables (base/utils.c)

[Dirk Porezag]

While trying to get nagios 2.0 (CVS current) working on Solaris-sparc-2.8, I noticed that the children which are forked to do the actual checks die in putenv() called by set_macro_environment_var. This error results from an incorrect array initialization in reset_variables which happens much earlier. Classical C array loop index bug.
Enclosed the fix:

*** base/utils.c        Sun Jan 30 22:40:05 2005
--- base/utils.c.orig   Sun Jan 30 22:37:53 2005
***************
*** 5245,5251 ****

        date_format=DATE_FORMAT_US;

!       for(x=0;x<MACRO_X_COUNT;x++)
                macro_x[x]=NULL;

        for(x=0;x<MAX_COMMAND_ARGUMENTS;x++)
--- 5245,5251 ----

        date_format=DATE_FORMAT_US;

!       for(x=0;x<=MACRO_X_COUNT;x++)
                macro_x[x]=NULL;

        for(x=0;x<MAX_COMMAND_ARGUMENTS;x++) 


Hope this helps,
Dirk

Mit freundlichen Grüßen - Kind regards
