This is just not ever right; the advice you were given was incorrect. You should always use dynamic allocation; you should also change MAXPATHLEN to the Posix names (PATH_MAX) and use them the Posix way. If you don't know how to do that, that's ok; in which case you should report the bug upstream so that upstream can fix it--and leave the Debian bug report open. > I don't know what the usual procedure for this kind of issues is.
