From 4cdfe84b51420c9ac95c7133da2d4c8a191094af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2008 07:45:33 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] deal with the first call of ->show() generating no output seq_read() has a subtle bug - we want the first loop there to go until at least one *non-empty* record had fit entirely into buffer.
