Aha! These gtkmorph crashes have been annoying me for years, but I
never made the connection to filename length until I encountered this
bug report. I believe that was just the information I needed to fix the
problem. From what I can tell, the bug lies in the show_fs() function
in gtkmorph/callbacks_fs.c, which hard-wires 50 characters for a file
name. The 70+ characters in the bug report is a bit of a red herring;
that's probably just the point where the buffer overrun tickles some
critical data structure and brings down the whole application.
The solution is to replace
char s[l+50];
with
char s[l+strlen(N)+1];
I've attached a patch file. Could the morph package maintainer please
test and apply it?
** Patch added: "Patch to prevent gtkmorph from crashing when manipulating long
