Dear Helge,


Thank you very much for your patch.

In sun_mount() the the variable np gets initialized to an alloca()

s/the the/the/

memory area:
   np = noptions = alloca();
Later on, at the end of a loop, it may get accessed like this:
   *(np - 1) = '\0';

If np hasn't been increased in between those lines, this access triggers
an out-of-bounds access which overwrites stack area and on the parisc
architecture segfaults the automount executable as desribed in the Debian

described

bugzilla #892953.

Debian just calls it Debian BTS.

The patch below adds the necessary check and thus fixes the crash.
