The code that reads those config files is supposed to truncate and null
terminate (and is fairly well tested).  I'd be surprised if it's not just
removing the '?' at the end and replacing it with a null byte.

It's unfortunate that this fancy new gcc stack stuff doesn't tell you where in
the function the stack gets smashed.  There is a lot going on in that function.  :(

Also, I'm curious about comment 13; what platforms are you aware of where long
is not adequately wide to store a pointer in?  If there are any such platforms
which run redhat or debian then I need to change that code.
