commit 64d56286ccc5d26d1eec1ef835e8e671f3ba6b84
Author: Tim Kientzle <kientzle@acm.org>

    Issue 550:  Fix out-of-bounds read in mtree.
    
    The mtree parser scanned from the end of the string to identify
    the filename when the filename is the last element of the line.
    If the filename was the entire line, the logic would scan back
    to before the start of the string.
    
    The revised logic scans from the beginning of the string
    and remembers the last separator position to locate the
    trailing filename.
