    Actually, this patch is incomplete. There are at least 10 other places in
    minicom that have the exact same problem (buffer overflow). A patch has
    already been sent to the upstream maintainer. There should be a minicom-1.82
    soon.
    
    BTW 80% of all software has the same problem - it really isn't a problem...
    unless it's a setuid program.
    
    Mike.
