Subject: [PATCH] 0053-ps/output.c: Harden forest_helper().

This patch solves several problems:

1/ Limit the number of characters written (to outbuf) to OUTBUF_SIZE-1
(-1 for the null-terminator).

2/ Always null-terminate outbuf at q.

3/ Move the "rightward" checks *before* the strcpy() calls.

4/ Avoid an integer overflow in these checks (e.g., rightward-4).
