[tex-live] buffer overflow patch for xdvik (resend)

[Stefan Ulrich]

Hi,

[ It seems that our local relay has problems with sending to
  tex-live - I've sent this off on Friday, and it hasn't arrived
  yet, but I didn't get an MTA error either. This happened
  before, so I'll just resend it, this time without relaying
  and hoping it won't appear twice - apologies if it does ...
]

I don't know how tight the schedule for the next TeX-Live CD is,
but I've just discovered a buffer overflow bug in xdvik-22.40h
which might be useful to have fixed before the next release ...
the patch is quite small:

Hmm, maybe I should really get into this perforce thing, to make
such updates easier ...

Best regards,
