This problem *should* already be fixed in the trunk, though I have never
actually tried building and running it with fortify source.

We *strongly* recommend not to enable fortify source. Bacula is already
well protected and has its own buffer overrun detection that in general
detects most overrun problems earlier and better than glibc and produces
a reasonable traceback in the process.  If you do enable fortify source,
we cannot exclude that you will encounter other such problems.
