Subject: Fix pad function to work for negative widths (RHBZ#634435).
X-Git-Tag: 1.0.5~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.annexia.org/?p=virt-top.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=0b94aeb460d42eea16bf942dd0892b8ebf63877b

Fix pad function to work for negative widths (RHBZ#634435).

The pad function is supposed to pad a string to a width.  Under some
circumstances, the width parameter could be negative resulting in a
call to String.sub such as:

  String.sub str 0 (-1)

which caused an exception to be thrown and not caught, causing
virt-top to exit.  Fix the pad function to return an empty string if
width <= 0 instead of throwing an exception.
