Patch by Stephen Pitts <smpitts@midsouth.rr.com>. First appeared in Debian
package version 1.3b1-4.
From https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=41746:
wmifs started crashing on startup on my system,
so I grabbed the source, added -g to the
Makefile, and ran it through gdb.
(Wow, the wonders of Open Source!!).
I found out that it has the hard-coded assumption
that a line in /proc/net/dev will be no longer
than 128 bytes. Since my ethernet card has over
1 GB in traffic , my eth0 line was 129 bytes long.
I added a new constant, BUFFER_SIZE, that
determines the size of the buffer used for fgets.
Right now, its at 512 bytes, so that gives it
a large margin of error, until we have petabyte
Ethernet! The patch is attached.
