	   has the same gets bug as fingerd....

	You're right.  It also has another bug.  The loop where it builds its
	argument list doesn't check if it writes past the end of av[].  fingerd
	doesn't have this bug, because its loop is slightly different (this is
	not obvious unless you stare at the code for a while).
	
	Fortunately, writed isn't part of the standard 4.3 distribution...
