Hi,

The warning message here was very poor i.e., using the buzz word "buffer
overflow" and showing the IP address as a numerical value. It has been
replaced. The problem is that your script probably send a line longer
than the supplied buffer can hold. If there's no newline character within
the buffer, getline() will return READ_OVERFLOW. ATM, the shell can
never recover from this state. This is a bug but there's no "buffer overflow".



Glad to hear it was just my misunderstanding.

Regards,
Clayton
