Description Javier Villavicencio (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

FreeBSD has slightly different wording for getdelim(), they expect a size=0 to append to the buffer, while on linux getdelim() expects a null pointer to do the same thing. Setting both (0/null) solves the problem.

Patch is tiny:

And already reported upstream.

Fixed in cvs-1.12.12-r8, let me know if we want this on the masked versions too.

And it's already applied upstream:
