[op5-users] [PATCH] Bad structure length passed in ipc.c bind()/connect() calls?

[Russell Jennings]

Sean,

I am glad to see merlin contributions. While I think merlin has the  
potential for awesomeness, I lack the technical aptitude to contribute  
to the code. (otherwise, i would have fixed performance data long ago)

Thank you for your contributions, I hope others like you end up  
contributing to this project as well. I do not usually get involved in  
open source projects, but merlin is just downright exciting (to me, at  
least).

Thanks,
Russell
