FVWM: stack-trashing buffer overrun

I switched to fvwm 2.0.45 from fvwm 1 recently, and encountered a very
annoying problem: fvwm2 would segfault whenever I tried to start a
module. Further investigation revealed that this was because my paths
were long, causing message to overflow in SendDataToModule in read.c
when I tried to start a module.

[Note: I do not read either of these lists, so please send me a copy
of all replies. Thanks.]
