-Subject: [PATCH] Issue #767:  Buffer overflow printing a filename
-
-The safe_fprintf function attempts to ensure clean output for an
-arbitrary sequence of bytes by doing a trial conversion of the
-multibyte characters to wide characters -- if the resulting wide
-character is printable then we pass through the corresponding bytes
-unaltered, otherwise, we convert them to C-style ASCII escapes.
-
-The stack trace in Issue #767 suggest that the 20-byte buffer
-was getting overflowed trying to format a non-printable multibyte
-character.  This should only happen if there is a valid multibyte
-character of more than 5 bytes that was unprintable.  (Each byte
-would get expanded to a four-charcter octal-style escape of the form
-"\123" resulting in >20 characters for the >5 byte multibyte character.)
-
-I've not been able to reproduce this, but have expanded the conversion
-buffer to 128 bytes on the belief that no multibyte character set
-has a single character of more than 32 bytes.
