Network Routing Bug

Hi All,
I think I found a small bug in the RTEMS version of the function
m_copyback(). I am using the rtems-ss-20021118 snapshot.
The RTEMS version of the m_copyback is changing the m_len value of
the mbuf. I looked into the source from another BSD system and
the mbuf length is not changed inside this function.
The m_copyback function is only being used in the net/rtsock.c file.
So I think this problem is only visable under certain routing table
conditions.
Below is my patch to fix the problem. The uipc_mbuf.c file is located
in the cpukit/libnetworking/kern directory. Please review and let
me know if you think this the correct fix.
Thanks
Mike Siers
