Summary: The memcheck function in char_io.c must use unsigned
Original Submission: Hi,
in char_io.c the memcheck function uses "int addr" to store addresses and does
bounds checking on it. On systems with over 2G of ram the "int addr" will be
negative and the bounds checking will fail producing an "ERR_WONT_FIT".
The attached patch changes the addr and len argument to unsigned long long as
well as the two helper functions.
MfG
Goswin
