Subject: Openware.org IE Fix - Warning

According to Heise
(http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/dab-19.12.03-002/)

The Openware.org IE fix introduces new flaws :

- The buffer to copy URL's is limited to 256 bytes
- Larger strings produce a buffer overflow, with possibility to
  overwrite the stack.
