------- Comment #3 from m...@mattmccutchen.net 2010-12-15 13:32 CST -------
I see what is happening. options.c:1496:
backup_dir_remainder = sizeof backup_dir_buf - backup_dir_len;
if (backup_dir_remainder < 32) {
snprintf(err_buf, sizeof err_buf,
"the --backup-dir path is WAY too long.\n");
return 0;
}
But backup_dir_remainder is unsigned, so the subtraction overflows and the
error message does not trip.
