This is now gone along with the uses of strtok_r().

I've patched these by swapping the size and nmemb arguments to fread()
and adding assert(count == 1); after each fread().  This is really
dirty (assert() is meant for detecting program bugs, not merely an
unreadable file), but drar.c already had some asserts like this.

Yes, except that my fixes for the official JtR are more elaborate.  For
drar.c in jumbo, I just don't care much.  It doesn't make much sense to
fix one issue cleanly when the source file is far from clean overall.

Dhiru - can you please test that drar in -RC4 still works?  (I did not.)

BTW, what does "d" in drar stand for?

This is not something I'd spend my time on now, sorry.

Thank you for confirming this!
