Security fix for buffer overflow due to long input filenames [see Bug 1422550 and 1422545]

Summary

The `recode' converts files between character sets and usages.

It recognizes or produces nearly 150 different character sets

and is able to transliterate files between almost any pair. When exact

transliteration are not possible, it may get rid of the offending

characters or fall back on approximations. Most RFC 1345 character sets

are supported.
