[Bug preprocessor/14461] preprocessor cause buffer overflow


------- Additional Comments From zack at gcc dot gnu dot org  2004-03-06 23:45 -------
Just to confirm what Andrew said:

The Single Unix Standard *requires* mmap to zero-fill to a page boundary.
Not doing this is a potential security hole.  Report this to the XFS developers
as a critical bug.

GCC 3.4 does not use mmap and will not be affected by the bug.
