+Subject: [PATCH] scripts: avoid matching 'char **' as string for systemtap
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+From: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com>
+
+When a probe argument is declared "char *" we reference the userspace
+string value using 'user_string(...)' for systemtap.
+
+Unfortunately our code generator also matches on args declared "char **"
+and generates bogus code
+
+   *cert = user_string($arg4);
+
+which is a syntax error for systemtap.
