That's an odd error.

Line 203:
	snprintf(decode, sizeof(decode), "\n%s", bin);

man snprintf states:
	The functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() write at most size
	bytes (including the terminating null byte ('\0')) to str.

So this should be truncated correctly. Am I missing something?

I'll set up gcc 8.1 tomorrow and poke around.
