if (signature) {
message = malloc((unsigned)(strlen(signature)+2));
(void) strcpy(message, signature);
msgsize = strlen(message);
message[msgsize++] = '\n'; /* what is this for? -mhh */
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
message[msgsize++] = '\0';
} else {
message = malloc(1);
message[msgsize++] = '\0';
}
Why does zwrite add a newline after the end of the signature? A properly
behaving zwgc shouldn't chop off trailing newlines, but our beloved
client seems to be doing it anyway.
