Re: buffer overflow with greek characters, NIX

[KF <dotslash () snosoft com>]

Nah the unix guy is suffering from a bug in X and or in the protocol 
handling of KDE in general including Konqueror  / kmail / file dialog 
boxes / etc...  Long title bars are one way of triggering this. I have 
posted a few times on this... xterm --title b0fhere may crash your box 
if you have the bug in X. If its a bug in Konqueror / KDE protocols try 
making an html file with AAAAAAAA... a few thousand times as the 
<title>AAA....</title> and open it.
