KSR's proposed patch to Deliver has a bug:

According to KSR[T]:
> + char token[BUFSIZ]; /* Probably paranoid. */
>
> + while (isascii(*lexptr) && isalpha(*lexptr) && i < BUFSIZ)
> token[i++] = *lexptr++;
> token[i] = '\0';

Buffer overrun is possible here.

I suggest anyone who uses Deliver just get the current tarball:
