Thanks, will change.

The term "static buffer overflow" seems stuck in my head (and you can
find references via google), even though it does not make sense at all.
In C terms, a stack buffer is really an "auto", but I guess "auto buffer
overflow" does not have as nice a ring to it.

I agree that "fixed-size" is a lot less confusing, and corrected several
such cases before sent out the series. I guess I missed one (I'll grep
for others).
