Specifically the call has two arguments, the name of the
bank and a format string length - how long can I make this
string? The call to bkfmt itself doesn't seem to have any limit
but I was noticing some strange output in fdump for the EC1R bank
on LINUX. When fdump tried to read the bank
the bank it printed I,F,F,I instead of EC1R for the name of the bank
suggesting the format string was overwriting the bank name
when I shortened the format string this went away...
bos bank magic...? Miraculously, seb also started working again
on solaris when I recompiled with this change... I just don't know
anymore...
If there is a hidden limit to the format string length there is now
another way to
corrupt the bos common (D.)...
