Subject: [IA64] Handle count==0 in sn2_ptc_proc_write()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc8~1^2~1

[IA64] Handle count==0 in sn2_ptc_proc_write()

The fix applied in e0c6d97c65e0784aade7e97b9411f245a6c543e7
"security hole in sn2_ptc_proc_write" didn't take into account
the case where count==0 (which results in a buffer underrun
when adding the trailing '\0').  Thanks to Andi Kleen for
pointing this out.
