| Thanks, that is indeed… weird.

| MirBSD-current/i386 machine
| Lynx Version 2.8.8dev.16-MirOS-0AB5.1
| limit 4 chars
|
| Debian unstable/i386 machine
| Lynx Version 2.8.9dev.1 (12 Mar 2014)
| limit 4 chars
|
| Debian unstable/amd64 machine
| same version as above
| limit 8 chars
|
| So, WTF? Seems to be related to sizeof(pointer).
|
| This looks to me like a classical mistake. I saw something like this
| when such a change was applied to code:
|
| {
| - char buf[100];
| + char *buf = xmalloc(100);
|
| /* […] */
|
| readinput(buf, sizeof(buf));
| }
|
thanks for the reminder (I'll take a look to review uses of sizeof()...)
