Hi Edward,

The value of the integer parameter 'active_wifis', passed by reference
to 'getRadiatingWifiList' is lost. I added the following line 232:

[....]

*active_wifis = -1;
char* tmp_buffer = scan_buffer;
printf("\nactive_wifis = %i\n\n", active_wifis);  /***** ADDED LINE ****/
while((scan_buffer = fgets(scan_buffer, 1024, shell_reader)))
{
   z++;
   if (z == 1)
      active_wifi_list = calloc(sizeof(void*), 10);


[....]

And this is what i get running ./backend 10:

# ./backend 10

active_wifis = -877165076

*** Error in `./backend': realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fff124a3424 ***
Aborted

Cheers,

    Aitor.
