Hi all,
I have a trouble about 'wcstombs(3)'. I'm using FreeBSD-2.1R.
size_t
wcstombs(char *mbstring, const wchar_t *wcstring, size_t nbytes)
It seems that the 'wcstombs(3)' ignores the third argument 'nbyte'.
In fact, when the size of 'mbstring' is smaller than that of
'wcstring', it occurs the segmentation fault or write over the buffer.
It defines in /usr/src/sys/lib/libc/locale/ansi.c .
This file is the same between 2.1.0R and -current.
It may be find the similar problem in -current.
I suggest the following :

Is it correct ?
