+bug #27148: Use of strcpy on overlapping memory areas
+http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27148
+http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/make/job.c?root=make&r1=1.194&r2=1.195
+
+2009-08-01  Paul Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+	* job.c (new_job): Use memmove() instead of strcpy() since both
+	pointers are in the same memory block.  Fixes Savannah bug #27148.
+	Patch by Petr Machata.
+
+bug #22010: The increased stack rlimit is inherited by the subprocesses to make.
+http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?22010

+http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/make/job.c?root=make&r1=1.191&r2=1.192&view=patch
+
+2009-06-07  Paul Smith  <psmith@gnu.org>
+	* make.h: Move SET_STACK_SIZE determination to make.h.
+	* main.c (main): New global variable, STACK_LIMIT, holds the
+	original stack limit when make was started.
+	* job.c (start_job_command): Reset the stack limit, if we changed it.
+	Fixes Savannah bug #22010.
