Hi David,

It seems the 'ls_' prefix fixes a name space clash with mod_magnet
from www/lighttpd.  I suspect the name space clash is still an issue.


Perhaps the following information helps.

# svn log -r260028 files/patch-src_buffer_c

-  namespace clash with www/lighttpd mod_magnet
   upstream is gone, but the port is still quite useful

Summary from PR 138055.

>Synopsis:       net/luasocket namespace clash with www/lighttpd mod_magnet

>Description:
Basically - luasocket defines buffer_init(); which is common enough to be
defined elsewhere and it is defined in mod_magnet, so you end up with a SIGSEGV.

>How-To-Repeat:
Write a lua script that uses luasocket and try to use it with mod_magnet.
