Subject: Fix crash on adding items near book end
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6e49be9af735766630fd7b2fdb646127b126c873;hp=09d925e8732793829e2a2a2abe582a46343e3fd2;p=xboard.git

Fix crash on adding items near book end

When Edit Book would add so many entries near the end of an opening
book that the end of the added info would surpass the old end of the
file, the copying of the tail got stuck in an infinite loop, extending
the file without limit with repeating info.
