Description of problem:

Hello there,

I have just tried to compile netpbm-9.24-6 from Redhat 8.0

Here are some of the messages the compiler produces

cc: Info: /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/netpbm-9.24/ppm/ppmtoxpm.c, line 136: In this statement, an array is being accessed outside the bounds specified 
for the array type. (subscrbounds)

Here is an untested patch to shut up the compiler.

./ppm/ppmtoxpm.c.old ./ppm/ppmtoxpm.c
