Package: gpsk31
Version: 0.3-1
Severity: normal

There are a buffer overflow in the conf file if just over 19 characters
are set to the options like 'name' or 'qth'. For example, if the qth
string is longer than 19 chars, the callsign gets overwrited, as
follows:
- set callsingn = "BBBBB"
- set qth = "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
- run the program
- go to Send -> MyCall 
and you'll get AAA instead of the callsign.

Other options are susceptible to this bug too.

At least, a warning note must be placed in the conf. file example
itself.
