Buffer overflows are often operating system specific, as well as often being confined to specific libraries, and even then sometimes only to specific libraries compiled with specific compiler versions.
What are the specifics of the system you are seeing this on?

I noticed on the Modify User page of qmailadmin 1.0.15 and 1.0.20 (i'm sure it exists in all other versions too as I havent seen anything about it in the changelog), if you enter a string which is 60+ characters into the Forward To: box, it creates what seems to be a buffer overflow. For example if you enter the 2 address's as follow into the Forward To: box: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then hit modify and this is whats produced in the Forward To box: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/.qmail
I checked in the users .qmail file, and the same error does occur.
