+       * src/sort.c [!ENABLE_ASSERTIONS]: Guard NDEBUG definition.
+       (checkfp): Fix off-by-one error that resulted in writing one byte
+       beyond the end of a malloc'd buffer.  It caused `sort -c' to segfault
+       on Linux systems having a relatively recent libc.  Before, running
+       the command, perl -e "print 'x' x 30, \"\n\";"|sort -c
+       would provoke the memory overrun (though not necessarily the failure).
+       Add an assertion.
