Hello.

Source code says:

char output_name[200]; /* FIXME: dangerous limit */
[...]
input_name = argv[optind];
[...]
strcpy (output_name, input_name);

This can't be good. Gentoo patchset doesn't cover this.

Please fix.

I have taken over the project at https://github.com/rrthomas/ and the bug is fixed in current git there; release shortly.
