Dear James, Thank you for the report. The last version released was 5.2, but there was a similar issue in the most recent version anyway. I've committed a change to not use a fixed-length buffer. I don't know why anybody would be asking for a manpage with 1000's of bytes in its name, but I guess it is useful to be able to ignore these things when looking for other flaws. Thanks Gavin
