Subject: small bug in hp.c
Index: /sys/stand/hp.c 4.2BSD
Description:
Placement of 'st' (drive table ptr) initialization causes
no such after 1st open call (when hp_type[unit] is non-0.)
Thus, stand-alone programs which reopen a disk multiple times
fail after the first open because a garbage io->i_boff is recalculated
using a nonsense st->off address in turn causing totally wild
disk addresses to be calculated in the strategy routine. (This is,
for instance, why the program described in format(8V) doesn't work
without a reload from the floppy if you try to format a second pack
using only one invocation of the program.)
Repeat-By:
See above.
Fix:

}
}
! } else
! st = &hpst[hp_type[unit]];
if (io->i_boff < 0 || io->i_boff > 7 ||
st->off[io->i_boff]== -1)
_stop("hp bad minor");
--- 117,123 -----
