+	* src/sort.c [!ENABLE_ASSERTIONS]: Guard NDEBUG definition.
+	(checkfp): Fix off-by-one error that resulted in writing one byte
+	beyond the end of a malloc'd buffer.  It caused `sort -c' to segfault
+	on Linux systems having a relatively recent libc.  Before, running
+	the command, perl -e "print 'x' x 30, \"\n\";"|sort -c
+	would provoke the memory overrun (though not necessarily the failure).
+	Add an assertion.
