Description edwin 2002-07-21 12:40:02 UTC 
games/race crashes when it tries to load one of its datafiles.

Fix: games/race tries to be smart and allocates a string of 6+strlen()
of two variables. This goes fine it the fixed 6 is the length of
"/data/". But how about it if the patch changes /data/ into
%%DATADIR%%, which is later on expanded to /usr/local/share/race ?

This patch gives the allocated string a length of 60, which should
be (include famous last words here) long enough for the string.
How-To-Repeat: 
install games/race and try to run a game .
