	All environment.

>Description:

	GTAGS patch for nvi has posibility of buffer overflow.
	o gtag_slist() - sprintf() brings buffer overflow.
	o getentry() - insufficient error check and buffer size.

>How-To-Repeat:

	no

>Fix:
	
	o gtags_slist() - use snprintf() instead of sprintf().
	o getentry() - error check added and doesn't use small buffer.

	Here is a patch for /usr/src/contrib/nvi/ex/ex_tag.c.
	(FreeBSD-current, FreeBSD-stable)
