Re: [9fans] Strange rc bug for the 9fans bug-squashing squad

On second thought (and in the light of Geoffs reply) I probably won't.
If you do care, the following change to the loop in question will at
least preserve all input:

		while((c = rchr(f))!=EOF){
			if(strchr(stop, c)){
				if(s!=wd){
					*s='\0';
					v = newword(wd, v);
					s = wd;
				}
			}
			else if(s==ewd){
				*s='\0';
				v = newword(wd, v);
				s = wd;
				*s++=c;
			}
			else *s++=c;
		}

With a dynamic buffer the tokenisation could be prevented, but in your
example the lexical scanner would quite likely bail afterwards.  (I
remember a discussion some time ago about this.)
