Description Steve Grubb 2017-07-23 12:08:15 UTC 
In src/main/devices.c R_Devices is defined as:

R_Devices[R_MaxDevices];

and comments say that R_MaxDevices set to 64. This means R_Devices can be
accessed with values between 0 and 63. The check for devnum > R_MaxDevices
allows 64 to be used which is outside of the legal limits.

A patch addressing this issue will be attached.
