Just sending this here so I don't forget....
If you try to rcp with the -r option to a directory ni which you don't
have write access, you get a core dump.
Reason: The function error is doing the following:
/*VARARGS1*/
error(fmt, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5)
char *fmt;
int a1, a2, a3, a4, a5;
Now, if you pass in a char *, int is not the right size and you lose.
Proper stdarg/varargs solves the problems.
(This was just rediscovered by me in krb4 - but krb5 suffers as well)
