I opened the source file to take a look at this issue and immediately see the problem but then I see perhaps ten more types of problems that "cppcheck" did not warn about and are equally (and sometimes perhaps more) evil.
This is contributed old source code to serve as a useful example of parsing a format which was deprecated over 12 years ago (but is still in active use).
What would you like us to do?
