   yes, i know this is old and i'm top posting... sorry...   
      
   i've spent the last day hunting down this patch because my golded+ was   
   crashing with "stack smashing detected"... yeah, i was running my terminal   
   window at max screen size which is now 271x70... if i drop to 256x70, i can   
   read but, as noted below, the internal editor craps the sheets... dropping   
   back to 255x70 allows both to work... i am NOT using the patch... it didn't   
   seem to do any good either way and i was still limited in max COLSxROWS... i   
   even added a second zero to make the buf larger and that didn't help,   
   either... the problem is the same with my old golded using the code from cvs   
   and this new one using the latest code from github... it is really starting to   
   look like there's a byte size counter somewhere that is the real problem... i   
   hate that my C/C++ skills are non-existant these days :(
