>From CHANGES (dev26/pre1):
* correct a buffer overflow in LYDownload.c (reported by John Bley) -TD
First, thanks. I'll hopefully take a look at that part of the patch and see
if I can use it to solve the remaining problems.
OK, now it at least doesn't segfault. It handles the name, and I can
use specialized DOWNLOADERs to save to that name. I can even delete and
save to a different (shorter) name with the default downloader. However,
the specialized DOWNLOADER option still
* displays a strange off-by-one when deleting the name on the status line
* displays blanks when I then type in a name like "foo" (still moves
the cursor, just writes blanks to the screen)
* doesn't actually save the file to the new name I enter (but doesn't
crash now, either)
Still in the middle of exams, but next week I should have time to do
more involved hacking on the latest pre patch.
