sthen f6c9102d1a updated patch from Rob Holland, his commentary:
"Andreas Tille, the Debian WordNet maintainer, noticed a bug in my
patch. The bug is not security related, but causes incorrect behaviour
in WordNet.

I replaced a strncpy(s1, s2, strlen(s2)) with a strcpy forgetting that
strncpy invoked that way would always omit the trailing \0 (as the \0
would always be at strlen(s2) + 1). This resulted in a truncation of
output from WordNet which relied on the previous behavior which it
used to 'patch' s1. I've now adjusted the strncpy to be a memcpy and
added a comment, to make the intent of the code clear. (Using a str*
function when you don't wish any handling of \0 is unintuitive to me,
hence my mistake). [..] Apologies for the error."

thanks Rob for the exemplary handling of this advisory. Notifications
to package maintainers and follow-ups are almost unheard-of and very
welcome.
