So something in my install is broken.  I recomplied v1.0.4 and installed it    
   and   
    I'm getting the same buffer overflows with mbout stat.  I'm running Linux    
   Mint   
    17.3.  All packages are up to date.  A gcc -v gives the following:   
      
   mbse@dionysis ~/src/mbsebbs-1.0.4 $ gcc -v   
   Using built-in specs.

   You can see the buffer overflow message in a previous message I posted.  If    
   any   
    one can see where my error might be found please let me know.  Thanks.
