Saber 2.1: bug

auth.dat is delcared as an unsigned char[1250], although in reality it
points to garbage space.  Note the following interaction:

(break 1) 24 -> auth.dat[0] = 0;
(unsigned char) 0x0
(break 1) 25 -> auth.dat[100] = 100;
Error #73:  Illegal array index 9800 into variable <data>.  Maximum array index
is 9767.


The "<data>" variable may indeed by 9767 long, but I have no idea what
it is.  A more enlightening error message would be helpful.
