What were you trying to do?
Use the ss_list_requests function in the ss library, when
my workstation was low on memory.
What's wrong:
The function doesn't check if ss_pager_create() succeeds, and
if it doesn't, tries to do an fdopen on an fd with the value
-1 and then tries to write to the resulting FILE *. Lose,
lose.
What should have happened:
If ss_pager_create() fails, ss_list_requests() should return
with an error.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/source/athena/athena.lib/ss/list_rqs.c.
