Seems that the following URL (from the FreeBSD Security Advisory)
has a better formatted version of the same information as can be
found at the location I had given:

	http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=119091888624735

A trailing '\0' can be written on the position following a buffer,
with little effort. The BugTraq entry describes it in detail ...
But (AFAIK) no further analysis has been performed.
