hi all, i would suggest converting this in to a more common for() loop. Programmers are bad in counting backwards. that kind of bug is common.

From: Colin Ian King colin.king@canonical.com
In the unlikely event that num_entry is zero, the while loop pre-decrements num_entry to cause negative array indexing into the array sources. Fix this by iterating only if num_entry >= 0.
