It looks like the program does not recognize line endings in the input
file. This code should stop at the end of file or when a '\n' character
is found:

static int read_line(FILE *f, unsigned char *buf)
{
    int i, j, c;

    i = j = 0;
    do {
      c = fgetc(f);
      /* add this line:  printf("%d\n", c);  */
      if (c == EOF || c == '\n')
        break;
      if (c == '"' && !(i > 0 && buf[i - 1] == (unsigned char) '\\'))
        j = 1 - j;
      else if (j) {
        buf[i] = (unsigned char) c;  /* *** here is where the crash happens *** */
...
      
For some reason, it seems to just keeps reading until the buffer
overflows. I do not really know why this happens, though.
Two things that may be worth checking: does it still crash when
compiled without optimizations (-O0), and do the input files
have correct line endings and not e.g. the Mac-style CR-only ones.
Also, if you add the printf() line as shown above, what numbers
are printed (only the first 150 or so are interesting) ?
