I am not familiar with C++, but these two links

suggest that while 'std::string' buffers are automatically extended, the 'char tmp[20]' used in cell2csv.cc is old C-style and can overflow.

Defining the temporary variable as 'char tmp[25]' (or maybe 30 characters long, just to be sure?) seems the right thing to do here.
