| | | >I've done some checking on various machines I have accounts on:
| | | 
| | |    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)

| | | 
| | |   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()...)
| 
| agreed - I see that in src/LYGetFile.c, follow_link_number.
| I'll add this to the po-files updates (after checking the one
| which there was some concern that it was not working correctly).

fwiw, there's a patch including this fix in

    ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/lynx2.8.9dev.4b.patch.gz

(there was some email comment about a problem with one of the translations - 
when
I have some time late this week, I'll put out dev.5)
