You're linking gcc-compiled code against a stdio that's broken and
stomps on the argument passed to sscanf.  The correct fix is to somehow
obtain a non-broken stdio (fix it yourself, get it from somewhere,
whatever).  An acceptable temporary measure is to compile the program
in question with the -fwritable-strings option of gcc.
