"Fix buffer overflow in src/xspice/icm/digital/d_state/cfunc.mod".
The change is not identical to the supplied patch. It was slightly
modified to make the original code more sane.
Found and patched by Artem Sinkevich.
"The log file appears blank when a VDMOS element is added".
The problen was caused by a crash during sensitivity analysis
caused by selecting parameters for wariation based on their
values. That is not repeatable between passes. The fix is to
remove that code, but it causes many more parameters to be used.

the terminal driver's treatment of the control-D (EOF) and escape
keys on Unix-like OSs. But escape has no special meaning, and treating
control-D as a line terminator was probably to prevent unexpected
session exit when connected through a modem without error-correction.
Removing the function allows "ngspice netlist &" to work correctly.
The function was called during initialisation, which caused an endless
loop of job-control stops when ngspice was started as a background process.
by using available high performance functions first.
Deprecated ftime() still acts as a backup function.
Solution is portable for today's operating systems and compilers.
"Initial transient solution assumes voltage source=0 even if it is not."
Cause was another error in ad5bb9eb8d, fix for Bug #607, which uncovered
an earlier latent bug.
