Could this be solved by: read(ast_consock, buf, sizeof(buf) - 1) ? read() operates on buffers not strings, so it has no concept of null termination. Also I think we need to either memset(buf, 0, sizeof(buf)) before the read, or (better) use the result of read to set the NULL terminator. It looks like we're currently relying on buf to be zero filled before read() when it's actually uninitialized data. I don't have a specific problem with increasing the buffer from 80 to 256, but I think we need to fix the parser so it doesn't crash if given 256 or more bytes. I think this issue applies to 11+. - Corey Farrell On Nov. 13, 2014, 3:31 p.m., Scott Griepentrog wrote: > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.
