• f0c00257d   [PATCH] lib: Fix bug in int_sqrt() for 64 bit longs ... Browse Code »

  The implementation of int_sqrt() assumes that longs have 32 bits. On
  systems that have 64 bit longs this will result in gross errors when the
  argument to the function is greater than 2^32 - 1 on such systems. I doubt
  whether any such use is currently made of int_sqrt() but the attached patch
  fixes the problem anyway.
