Issue #1309352: fcntl now converts its third arguments to a C `long` rather
than an int, which makes some operations possible under 64-bit Linux (e.g.
DN_MULTISHOT with F_NOTIFY).
........
when used on platforms that actually define ioctl as taking an unsigned long.
(the BSDs and OS X / Darwin)
Adds a unittest for fcntl.ioctl that tests what happens with both positive and
negative numbers.
This was done because of issue1471 but I'm not able to reproduce -that- problem
in the first place on Linux 32bit or 64bit or OS X 10.4 & 10.5 32bit or 64 bit.
The new char-array used in ioctl calls wasn't explicitly NUL-terminated;
quite probably the cause for the test_pty failures on Solaris that we
circumvented earlier. (I wasn't able to reproduce it with this patch, but it
has been somewhat elusive to start with.)
[ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation.
with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed
as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by
backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).
