I hope the question explained my problem. I would also be grateful if the workaround that "works" is explained.
The traditional way of reading a file (that i know of)
int fd; char buffer[MAX]; while(read(fd,buffer,MAX)>0) { buffer[MAX]='\0'; write(...

Why do you say that it's causing an overflow?
Do note that read() will not write a \0 in the end of the char array, so if you do something like printf("%s", buffer) it will likely fail because printf will be expecting a NUL terminated string .

Table LINK: Client (int) Item1 (int) Item2 (int)
This is the disputed design. All three fields refer to other tables. The two Item fields refer...

I've noticed that, after changing the reg settings outlined in Episode 52 of the Stack Overflow podcast to pool.ntp.org , my box keeps requesting time from gordo.foofus.net. The web site hosted on that box is very strange. Is this a valid timeserver?

This looks like a legitimate time server to me:
[hex]~% ntpdate -q gordo.foofus.net server 64.73... .
As for the subdomain gordo.foofus.net, I have no idea.
If you look at the main domain, http://www.foofus.net/ , it is a legit security blog .
