[Bug 884407] Re: mount.ecryptfs_private is broken on arm

[Colin Watson]

The patch itself looks fine, but oneiric has released.  I assume you
still think this should be fixed in oneiric (it does seem to meet the
SRU criteria), so could you please attach a patch for precise if
necessary and also a patch targeted at oneiric-proposed?  I wouldn't
want to upload an SRU before it's been fixed in precise.

Title:
  mount.ecryptfs_private is broken on arm

Status in “ecryptfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Oneiric:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  char is unsigned on arm (signed on x86).

  fetch_sig compares the result of fgetc to EOF (-1), which of course
  never succeeds, causing an infinite loop.
