The buffer overflow bug that was fixed between 8.2.13 and 8.2.15
appears to have been fixed only for olc, not olcr. On the machine where
I originally noticed the bug, science-fiction-double-feature, I get:

Investigating further, I find:
ls -li /afs/dev/system/sun4x_56/srvd-8.2/usr/athena/bin/olc{,r}

So it seems the problem got fixed only with one of the two
programs, which seems odd, since I seems to remember them as being the
same binary.
