Security, serious: A buffer overrun caused by a specially crafted input line longer than 180 characters can cause parser.c to smash its stack. This overwrites its return address and therefore jumps to an arbitrary location. A cracker able to write an input file for parser.c to parse could use this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of any setuid gneuralnetwork user.
