Markus, I've fixed the problem. Here's a code from implementation of builtin 
SUBST rule:

# define BUFLEN 4096
char buf[BUFLEN + 1];
const char* in = subst->string;

Guess no comments needed :-) I've changed all uses of it to the newer MATCH 
rule. (BTW, this means we can deprecate SUBST).
Do an cvs update and try again.

Thanks,
Volodya
