Thanks, looks like I missed that when allocating memory. I will merge this so you can package it for nixpkg! |

I was trying to package this program for
Nixpkgs, and used its custom meson builder script, which uses some kind of fortification by default, which catches buffer overflows.When running the program I got several buffer overflow errors, and with the help of
coredumpctlI could trace it back to some string size math. It looks like there wasn't enough space for the null-terminator of the string.
