This is a bug in the standard ss library stuff.

Subject: Bug in make_commands
It dumps core...In mkcmds_utils.c around line 75, the following
code appears
sprintf(numbuf, "%d" options);
size += strlen(options);
Since options is an int, it's probably numbuf you want the length
of since that is what is cons'd up in the next few lines. The
line should read
size += strlen(numbuf);
-Ron
P.S. I once had a programmer who would have computed that by
taking the log_base_10 of the number to know how big to make the
field.
