Severity: important

Hi,
char is per default unsigned on arm, powerpc and s390. There are several 
warnings,

procmap.c:102: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of 
data type

during build of your package that might cause a runtime error. Please check

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=libgtop2&ver=2.0.1-4&arch=s390&stamp=1044708083&file=log&as=raw

for details.

In the case above the variable fn[0] should be defined as int. Defining it as 
char is even wrong on i386, since the char 0xff is then interpreted as EOF. 
On the platforms mentioned above the EOF condition is never true, leading to 
an infinite loop.

Thanks,
Gerhard

According to the upstream that's not a libgtop issue, I'm closing the
bug. Feel free to reopen if you disagree.


Cheers,
