lynx-dev Bug in dev.8 when changing permissions

[Ismael Cordeiro]

A bug was introduced in lynx2.8.2dev.8. When trying to change permissons of
a file lynx crashes with signal 11. In dev.7 it works correctly. Until the
crash, the difference between trace files of dev.8 and dev.7 is this (!), in
dev.8:

< LYRemoveTemp(/tmp/L24680-1TMP.html)
< ...LYRemoveTemp done(0)

and then it crashes...

Changing line 1294 of LYLocal.c from

HTSprintf(&tmpbuf, "chmod %.4o %s", (unsigned int)new_mode, destpath);

back to, as in dev.7,

sprintf(tmpbuf, "chmod %.4o %s", (unsigned int)new_mode, destpath);

corrects the problem, but I don't know the consequences...
