Package: wifi-radar
Version: 1.9.4-0ubuntu6
Severity: normal


Sometime, for example if the program is aborted before it finish,
wifi-radar staled with those lines in stderr:

> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/usr/sbin/wifi-radar", line 903, in connect_profile
>     connect_to_network( ssid, connect_status_window )
>   File "/usr/sbin/wifi-radar", line 296, in connect_to_network
>     os.kill( int(open(DHCP_PIDFILE, mode='r').readline()),
> signal.SIGTERM )
> ValueError: invalid literal for int():

This can be easily handled by either checking if the return value
from the open command is a valid integer, or simply by also intercepting
the ValueError exception, just like the OSError.

Ask me for a patch if you need one,
Thanks
