Buffer overflow in the TexOpen() function

Hi,
While fuzzing OpenDetex with Honggfuzz, I found a buffer overflow in the TexOpen() function, in detex.l.
Attaching a reproducer (gzipped so GitHub accepts it): test01.gz
Issue can be reproduced by running:
detex test01

A few comments: first of all, this bug happens in the code path where kpathsea is not used (#ifndef KPATHSEA
), thus, when compiled with kpathsea which is probably mostly used there is no problem. For example, those using detex from the TeX Live sources and build in the usual way, that is with kpathsea, will not be affected.
For a fix, Akira Kakuto from the TeX Live team suggested:

but this is unchecked.
Hope that helps.
