According to Stephen Carpenter:
Sorry about this....I screwed up.... I made a slight typo....well not so slight... yes its my own fault for not being more careful... this is the revised pacth that should actually work at the end of this message
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. -- Miquel van Smoorenburg | Our vision is to speed up time, miquels () cistron nl | eventually eliminating it.
