Yikes. That helped locate it. It happens with a particular buffer
alignment. Here's a condensed example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
void
main(void)
{
char buf[32];
strcpy(buf, "0123456abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz");
puts(buf);
strcpy(buf+6,buf+7);
puts(buf);
}
A 32-bit executable produces:
0123456abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
012345abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
A 64-bit executable does:
0123456abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
012345abcdefghijlmnoppqrstuvwxyz
Note the doubled 'p' and missing 'k'. It looks like bytes 16-20 got
shifted left somehow.
I think that might be nasty enough to warrant backing down from 129 ...
