Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee 0.10.5

[Aaron Bockover <abockover novell com>]

If you build this, please apply the attached patch before doing so. It
addresses a potential problem because System.Text.ASCIIEncoding does not
nul-terminate strings. This may cause unexpected problems when a
non-nul-terminated string is passed to prctl to set the process name,
however, I have not yet run into any apparent issues on three test
boxes. 

My apologies!

Cheers,
Aaron
