-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 When a .tex file contains a very long line with a bad macro, the tex2rtf
 die due to a buffer overflow.

 {{{
 \badMacro with a very long line ( more than 200 characters after the
 macro) will crash the tex2rtf or do something very bad like arbitrary code
 execution!
 }}}

 This is not critical anymore as the project has switched to doxygen docs,
 but I use the tool to generate the help file of my application.


 ''( I set this ticket to the 'samples' component, as there is no 'tool'.
 This tool was removed of svn trunk)''
