The code is already supposed to ensure correct NULL-termination.

Did you find a bug?  If so, please give details of the code path 
concerned in the patch header and I'll need to deal with it promptly
and submit it to stable too.

Or are you simply proposing this as a precaution against future bugs,
in which case it is not urgent?
