patch

The char array is used as a string after read(2)'ing directly into it witho=
ut
terminating it. The following atoi() seems pretty tolerant of garbage bytes=
 but
it can also get the wrong number or keep scanning past the array and crash =
if
you're unlucky. It was happening a lot for me for some reason.
