+
+ Fix a heap-corrupting bug.
+ * io/ftw.c: Include <limits.h>.
+ (PATH_MAX) [!defined PATH_MAX]: Define to 1024.
+ (process_entry): Allocate enough space to hold the resulting
+ file name. Don't presume that 2*dirbufsize is enough.
+ (ftw_startup): Always use PATH_MAX to compute buffer size, now that
+ it is guaranteed to be defined.
+
2003-02-04 Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com>
* iconvdata/Makefile: Add rules to build and run bug-iconv3.
