Log message:
        Fix vulnerability 4 posted by Vade 79 <address@hidden> on
        BugTraq, Message-ID:
        <address@hidden>. This fix is just
        a stopgap measure for now; proper list handling will be added later.
        
        * src/manp.c (gripe_overlong_list): New function.
        (add_dir_to_list): Die gracefully if too many list entries are
        added.
        (add_dir_to_path_list): Likewise. Take an extra argument for the
        head of the list so that we can spot this efficiently.
        (create_pathlist): Update calls to add_dir_to_path_list().
