busybox/libbb/get_line_from_file.c
Denis Vlasenko 9a7cef930f less: somewhat buggy applet, but nice. Muchly reduced
xstrdup'ing and memory consumption. Made linewrap saner.
regex matching code was awful - still buggy, but not as
leaky as before. Made buffer size configurable. Killed
several static and on-stack buffers. Hopefully eliminated
staircase effect on Ctrl-C (unable to reproduce).
