This bug is similar to the previous one that we forwarded.
The source code in the locker has been changed to incorporate
this fix.

Subject: another bug in http.c

ta's,
I think i've found another error in http.c. Line 143 mallocs a
string:
m->other = (char *) xmalloc((resLen + 1) * sizeof(char));
and strcat is subsequantly called on that string. This can
cause trouble if a zero doesn't happen to show up anywhere in the new
string (a SIGSEV resulsts). Fix it by adding:
m->other[0] = 0;
after the xmalloc.
