    KSR's proposed patch to Deliver has a bug:
    
    According to KSR[T]:
    > +  char token[BUFSIZ];  /* Probably paranoid. */
    >
    > +         while (isascii(*lexptr) && isalpha(*lexptr) && i < BUFSIZ)
    >             token[i++] = *lexptr++;
    >           token[i] = '\0';
    
    Buffer overrun is possible here.
    
    I suggest anyone who uses Deliver just get the current tarball:
