I originally put "patch in next mail" in the subject because the fix to not use
a static char[] seemed obvious.  Then I actually ran 'make check' and that blew
up in a way that was pretty obviously a case of somebody doing something subtly
dodgy indeed....

Good luck.  Hopefully chasing down why the "obvious" fix breaks isn't *too*
bad.
