Description Tommy Yu 2004-02-02 20:51:57 UTC

Took me a while to figure out why the contents of various scripts spilled out during bootup. I traced it to hotplug puking when trying to parse an empty line in usb.usermap (by pressing scroll lock to pause the output). IMHO, it should be cleaner than that.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. put an empty line in /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap
2. # /etc/init.d/hotplug [re]start (or restart machine)
3. 

Actual Results:  
Ouput contents of various scripts onto stdout.

Expected Results:  
Hotplug should ignore empty lines in usb.usermap cleanly.

Don't put empty lines in there :)

Anyway this should be fixed in the latest release.
