Build Identifier: 3.4.2

In formatVmCommandMsg, there is code to format the message. There is a potential problem in "if (list[index][0] == _T_ECLIPSE('-') && *(ch-1) == _T_ECLIPSE(' '))"  .  "*(ch-1)" may point to an address that is outside the message memory range.  The fix is to change the line to "if (list[index][0] == _T_ECLIPSE('-') && ch != message && *(ch-1) == _T_ECLIPSE(' ')) , this avoids the bad access crash. 

I am trying to create a patch but the network is very slow here today. Since this is a one line fix, so I choose to directly describe here. 


	message = malloc( (length + 5) * sizeof(_TCHAR) );

	/* Format the message such that options (args starting with '-') begin
	   on a new line. Otherwise, the Motif MessageBox does not automatically wrap
	   the messages and the message window can extend beyond both sides of the display. */
	ch = message;
	if(args != NULL) list = args;
	else             list = vmArgs;
	while(list != NULL) {
		for (index = 0; list[index] != NULL; index++)
		{
			if (list[index][0] == _T_ECLIPSE('-') && *(ch-1) == _T_ECLIPSE(' '))
				*(ch-1) = _T_ECLIPSE('\n');
			_tcscpy( ch, list[index] );
			ch += _tcslen( list[index] );
			*ch++ = _T_ECLIPSE(' ');
		}
		if(list == vmArgs) list = progArgs;
		else 			   list = NULL;
	}
	*ch = _T_ECLIPSE('\0');

Reproducible: Always
