I have backported various bugfixes from devbr6 related to buffer
overflow. Some bugfixes also needed to be forward ported to trunk. It
would make maintenance much easier if bugs were fixed in trunk first,
then in devbr6 and relbr64. The fixes for these buffer overflows are
simple enough, there is IMHO no reason to apply them in devbr6 and
then risk to forget about them.
