>Description:
confstr() was recently changed to return 0, not -1, on errors, as that's what the Single UNIX Specification requires.
As pointed out in response to bug mail I sent for another BSD on confstr(), the getconf command needs to be changed to check for 0, not -1, when checking for confstr() errors.
