[PATCH] linux/fs/ufs/namei.c

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 758 bytes --]

The attached patch fixes a compilation problem (syntax) that
arises when using the recommended minimum (according to
linux/Documentation/Changes) gcc-2.95.3 compiler to build
2.6.0-test5.  Would have found this sooner, but my
Slackware 8.0 laptop has been in use at a remote location
for the past several months :-).

<old_fart_mode><gasoline><match>
Don't much care for whatever C language standard revision
that allows this kind of sloppiness.  However, gcc-3.2.2
handles it just fine.
