Btw, I think you made a mistake in your proposed patch in that it now says 
"gchar *buffer[".
Unless your architecture of choice has single-byte pointers, I expect that will 
spell an
incorrect value of "buffer + 10" in the places where it's used.

Other than that it looks ok as a stopgap fix.  I've been running a locally 
modified version of
the package with a 511 byte buffer for quite some time without encountering any 
concrete
problems.
