[Dx4win] Users of Buckmaster

[Paul van der Eijk]

It looks to me there is a bug in the new hamcall32.dll.
.
The lookup routine gets an address of a buffer and the length of that 
buffer as parameters. Some callsigns seem to return a lot of data, but 
the specified maximum length of the buffer is ignored, and data is 
written past the end of the buffer. This overwrites some local variables 
but also the return address of the function call.

When I increase the buffer size,  the problem goes away until another 
release of the Buckmaster exceeds my current buffer size.

I have notified the developers of DX4WIN about the problem some half year ago and they have  acknowledged the problem... I't seems to be a very difficult nut to crack for our hard working developers though, as I'm still waiting for a new version of DX4WIN that solves this (among others) problem.
