+Fix CVE-2015-8863 (Off-by-one error in the tokenadd function in
+jv_parse.c in jq allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
+(crash) via a long JSON-encoded number, which triggers a heap-based
+buffer overflow):

+Subject: [PATCH] Heap buffer overflow in tokenadd() (fix #105)
+
+This was an off-by one: the NUL terminator byte was not allocated on
+resize.  This was triggered by JSON-encoded numbers longer than 256
+bytes.
