Hello,

While investigating some other issue, we found a trivial bug of ecpg.  The attached is a fix for that.

If you specify an input file which ends with "." (e.g. run "ecpg file."), ecpg writes one byte past the end of the
allocatedmemory.
 

In addition, the following statement is misleading.  Some people may think that file.ec.c will be converted to a.ec.c.
Butthe actual behavior is that it is converted to file.c.  So I clarified the paragraph a bit.
 

"If the extension of the input file is not .pgc, then the output file name is computed by appending .c to the full file
name."

Regards
