Bug ID: 245476
Summary: config(8) line parsing fragile
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
get_word and get_quoted_word, at the very least, are currently quite fragile --
they're expecting short subjects, which won't necessarily be the case. This can
be easily seen by reverting the parts of r359689 that doubled the line buffer
sizes and observing the new output to stderr as it tries to parse too long of
lines. Previously, we just clobbered memory past the line buffer and did the
wrong thing.
r359689 was just a band-aid, though -- these sizes will need adjusted as needs
change and randomly blow up on valid config bits. It would be nicer/more
developer friendly to be more dynamic here.
