Description Andrew Church 2007-12-28 07:04:16 UTC

While attempting to build xfractint-20.04_p07, the internal help compiler tool "hc" crashes, breaking the build.  This is the result of a buffer overflow stemming from mismatched buffer sizes (MAXEXT=4 in dos_help/hc.c via headers/unix.h, FILE_MAX_EXT=5 in unix/unix.c).  Patch forthcoming, as soon as I finish testing it.
