    1. Problem Description
    
    	groff pic(1) has a buffer overrun in argument handling. The

    3. Solution
    
    	The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
    	customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
    	cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
    	packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
