Thanks, that is indeed… weird.

So, WTF? Seems to be related to sizeof(pointer).
This looks to me like a classical mistake. I saw something like this
when such a change was applied to code:
{
- char buf[100];
+ char *buf = xmalloc(100);
/* […] */
readinput(buf, sizeof(buf));
}

<igli> exceptions: a truly awful implementation of quite a nice idea.
<igli> just about the worst way you could do something like that, afaic.
<igli> it's like anti-design. <mirabilos> that too… may I quote you on that?
<igli> sure, tho i doubt anyone will listen ;)
