>Description:
In lpr.c, a function copy use buffer defined by "char
buf[MAXPATHLEN];". But this definition should be "char buf[BUFSIZ];"
according to the description of 'mx' in the manual pages of printcap.
Because current definitions of MAXPATHLEN and BUFSIZ are same value '
1024', so no problem will occur. But if these definitions are changed,
the buffer limit will not agree with printcap description.
>How-To-Repeat:
See lpr.c and the manual pages of printcap
>Fix:
Change definition of buf in lpr.c
