The loop should be rewritten to + terminate. + + - The acl (... GETACLNT ...) call is merely an optimization; its value + is merely a hint as to how big to make the array. A better + optimization is to avoid the acl (... GETACLNT ...) call entirely, + and just guess a reasonably-big size, growing the size and trying + again if it's not large enough.
