Empty inline files in vfs

[Stefan Thöni]

Hi Genodians,

I've noticed that reading an empty inline file crashes the vfs but only
when this file is created by an <inline name="test"/> but not when it's
created by an <inline name="test"></inline>. This can be demonstrated
easily be noux's /bin/cat but seems to be true also with respect to
other applications reading such files.

You can test it with the runscript in the following commit:
https://github.com/throwException/genode/commit/1a9fb7a3eb07096158b07252309ec7c473c5798f

Can anyone explain this behavior?

Kind regards
Stefan
