Ah great, thanks for tracking it down. OK. These patches are connected with http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2008-014.html resulting from a Debian audit, upstream didn't release newer code due to lack of resources (and in reality, given how this is used, the risk of the potential buffer overflows is pretty low). Though if I'm not mistaken, the original code will also access one element past the array here. > Maybe wordnet should be removed? > http://wordnet.princeton.edu/wordnet/download/current-version/#nix > doesn't list newer source tarballs. I don't see the need for that, this is pretty unique, I can't think of anything that even comes close as a replacement. (There is a newer database for it, I'll pull that into the port later).
