Package: genisoimage
Version: 9:1.1.10-1
Severity: normal

If genisoimage is given a filename that is 24 or 25 characters long using the
"graft point" syntax, its name in the resulting .iso file has character 23
replaced with a copy of character 24.  For example:

  genisoimage -r -graft-points -o test.iso /abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy=/bin/ls

results in test.iso containing a file named "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxxy".  If
the filename isn't specified as a graft point, the problem does not occur.

Actually, testing further as I write this, the problem isn't limited to lengths
of just 24 or 25.  Filenames of 26 or 27 characters are OK, but 28 and 29
exhibit the problem, then 30 through 36 (I didn't test beyond that) are OK.

This strange behavior occurs on amd64 but not i386, and it seems to be related
to libc6: it doesn't occur on a pure lenny installation, but if I upgrade libc6
to sid's version (2.11.2-2) then it does occur, even if genisoimage is not
upgraded and remains at version 9:1.1.9-1 (lenny's version).

(I recognize that this may turn out to be an actual libc6 bug upon further
investigation; please reassign if appropriate.)
