Trying to run my script through obash results in malloc assertion:
Found the culprit by looking at valgrind output:
malloc() of outfilename doesn't account for the terminating NUL char, and the subsequent strcat() overflow the buffer.
Please note that the bug is not always reproducible since we are in "undefined behaviour land" (see above for an example, under valgrind the overflow is detected but obash doesn't assert out). I could not trigger it with a typical hello world script, but with my script (~20K size) it has.
