/* back to the 0x9B char */ Just as an addendum - risk of '0x9B bug' depends mainly on terminal capabilities - while 'dumb' terminals are mostly safe (maybe except DoS attacks, destruction of display, etc) - smarter ones are vunerable to things like parsing arbitrary strings as typed from keyboard, changing terminal options, writing files and executing arbitrary code (see 'capabilities' section on termcap manpage, then termcap entry for your terminal type). Most of them, if implemented, are available via 0x9B control character. _______________________________________________________________________ Michal Zalewski [lcamtufat_private] <= finger for pub PGP key Iterowac jest rzecza ludzka, wykonywac rekursywnie - boska [P.
