Hi
Thank you very much. I used your fix and tested again.
When i tested as below :

TEST 1 :
  ret = strncmp("a", "L", -1);  <----------------- ret is '0'


TEST 2:
  ret = strncmp("1", "2", UINT_MAX); <------ ret is '-1'

But since size_t is unsigned int call to strncmp with third argument
as -1 should consider third argument  as UINT_MAX in TEST 1, but its
not happening so.

Could you please help me to know what could be the problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Channa
