 Previously it had a buffer size of 256 which could easily overflow. In this
 entry `gets(3)` is used in a more complicated way: first `m` is set to `*++p` in

 `fgets(3)` proved more a problem. Since the input must come from the command
 line Cody changed the buffer size to `ARG_MAX+1` which should be enough (again
 theoretically) especially since the command expects redirecting a dictionary
