Subject: (paste_parallel): Declare local, chr, to be of type
X-Git-Tag: v5.1.2~12
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a28a8b7cefb07024376244eed4365d310194c1e9;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

(paste_parallel): Declare local, chr, to be of type
`int', not `char', since it must hold EOF.  This bug would make
paste infloop on some systems.
