[hylafax-devel] Race condition

[Michael (Micksa) Slade <micksa@knobbits.org>]

I *think* I subscribed to this list... If so, it's very low traffic :)

Anyway, I was tredging through the code that receives faxes, and I think
I spotted a race condition.

v.1beta2 source, faxd/FaxREcv.c++, around about line 142...

If hfaxd manages to cut in at that point and get the status of the same
incoming file, it'll think that it's already finished receiving.

Or have I missed something?

Mick.
