   I noticed the following in the output.c file:   
      
   +        if (RemoveBOM)   
   +        {   
   +            templine = linebegin;   
   +            templine = strstr(linebegin, "\xef\xbb\xbf");   
   +            if (templine != NULL) /* BOM found on line */   
   +            {   
   +                templn2 = templine + 3; /* Move rest of line over BOM */   
   +                strcpy(templine, templn2);   
   +            }   
   +        }   
      
   Your using strcpy to copy overlapping strings. The behaviour of strcpy when   
   source and destination overlap is undefined for all definitions of strcpy I   
   know. So it might work, or it might not, for all permutations of compilers,   
   os's and compiler options, that makenl is compiled on.   
      
   I suggest:   
      
                    memmove(templine, templn2, strlen(templn2) + 1);   
      
      
   The same is true for the fts5.c file, with about the same code...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
