15 Well, except for the fact that it
16 1) did not start (immediate fortify crash because the string buffer was too
17 short to hold the font name for a debug output)

19 usleep...)
20 So in this case the mask was quite adequate.

27 Adopt package, fix buffer overflow (kinda), bug 442290, and impossible game
28 speed. Drop to ~arch as we're returning from package mask.
