+ * ext/syck/rubyext.c (mktime_do): avoid buffer overrun, by
+ silently ignoring lesser significant digits. Required buffer
+ length can be computable so you might at first think of
+ allocating enough memory space on the fly using alloca(). That
+ is a wrong idea because when using alloca there is always risk
+ of integer overflow. A function that accepts outer-process
+ resources like this should not blindly trust its inputs. In
+ this particular case we just want to generate miliseconds
+ resolution by strtod() so the string in question needs no more
+ length than what we originally have. Ignoring lesser
+ significant digits should suffice I believe.
