'id' rollover bug in dns.c


Hi,
 
There is a rollover bug in the current CVS copy of dns.c. Around line
237 there is the following code:
            /* Reply to an old query. Ignore it */
            if (ntohs(dns_hdr->id) != (id-1)) {

If dns_hdr->id == 5 and id == 6, then the 'if' condition is false as
expected.

If dns_hdr->id == 0xFFFF and id == 0, then the 'if' condition is
incorrectly true.

The simple patch below fixes the issue:
--- dns_old.c   2009-10-01 16:01:41.000000000 -0700
+++ dns.c       2009-10-01 16:01:45.000000000 -0700

             }

             /* Reply to an old query. Ignore it */
-            if (ntohs(dns_hdr->id) != (id-1)) {
+            if (ntohs(dns_hdr->id) != (cyg_uint16)(id-1)) {
                 continue;
             }
             finished = true;


Cheers,
Will
