severity 468418 grave
thanks

On line 460 of ict-main.cpp the library call getpwuid_r() should be used.

When compiled in optimising mode the call to getpwnam() on line 468 is 
overwriting the string buffers.

I am not convinced that it is impossible to use this bug to run arbitrary code 
as group incron.  Taking over group incron will gain almost immediate root 
access (I will make another bug report).

As an interim measure I suggest uploading a version of incron which has no 
support for the -u option to incrontab.
