Well, we debug the code, i think it is an entry problem only, please have a
look at the code, i will not be able to look at it until monday and am trully
really busy.

it's just a scanf to a buffer then a strcpy of the buffer that is sent back. I
did it in a hurry, but it should be easy to fix i think ...

maybe we could contact the upstream author also about this, he told me he will
integrate my patch some time ago

i just don't have the time for it right now (real life having come back for
me, ...) but if monday evening it is not solved, i will look into it.

(btw, i have big problems unpacking the rescue disk, need help in this,
because i don't know what to do)

Friendly,
