>Description:
bc 1.04 crashes with long formula typed into one single line (buffer 
overflow perhaps).  Everything works fine if I manually split long 
formulas into several lines, althought I personally hate to do that.

>How-To-Repeat:
start bc and type the following formula into one single line:

1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1

This one also crashes bc when typed into one line:
1                                                                              +                                                                               1


>Fix:
I downloaded bc-1.05a from ftp.gnu.org and it worked fine.  
Perhaps you could update the version of bc shipped with FreeBSD?
