r179: passthrough to cowpatty causes buffer overflow

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Ensure cowpatty and pyrit are in PATH variable.
2. Upgrade pyrit to r179 from svn
3. Enter ~/pyrit_svn/pyrit/test and issue commands:
ulimit -c unlimited
pyrit -e linksys -f dict passthrough | cowpatty -d - -r  wpapsk-
linksys.dump -s linksys
4. Observe buffer overflow.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to see pyrit find the PSK(dictionary).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
r179 on BT4pf with Scapy 2.0.1 and no other changes. Fresh install of 
pyrit r179 from svn, freshly booted machine, AMD dual-core CPU, with GTX-
295 card on board.

Please provide any additional information below.
It dumps a core file when it overflows, and you can find it G-zipped as an

The core file may of may not help in debugging, however.

Many thanks for your support.

Thank you. Since I reverted back to r169 I cannot test to see that this fix is 
adequate. We can close the issue in the meantime.
