Description Peter Dufault 1994-12-28 03:50:01 UTC 
The commited long name fix to nm trashes the heap

Fix: 

Change the "emalloc(sizeof(MAX_FNAME) + ..." to "emalloc(MAX_FNAME + ..." in nm.c
(sorry for the poor testing).

Alternatively, "show.c" in "~dufault" on freefall has "show_archive" with that
fix and one other minor fix (the first char of "ar_date" is getting NULLED out for
file names with exactly 16 characters); I tried to commit those fixes but can only
access "cvs" and not "ncvs".
How-To-Repeat: 
nm /usr/lib/libc.a
