+       * added check in fmt_compile() to handle a single-character
+       format string. fmt_compile() depends on having an array of
+       format characters with an empty item at the end. A
+       single-character format would cause programs using this
+       function to segfault because the algorithm used to decide on
+       the length of the array mistakenly created a single-item array
+       when the format string was one character. This eventually
+       caused problems when the program attempted to test item+1
+       in the array.
