[PATCH] ncpfs fails to correctly retry requests on timeout
sock_sendmsg() modifies iovec passed to it - it sets all length members of iovec array to zero on success transmission (and even on failed if it fails after iovec copy, but...) and advances pointers to point at the end of buffers used. This has an unfortunate effect that ncpfs's retry on failure does not work for IPX/UDP connections - kernel refused to do anything because length from iovec was 0 while length passed to sock_sendmsg() was correct. This simple fix gets rid of a problem by creating temporary iovec copy, which can sock_sendmsg destroy if it has such wish.
