:> Correct an additional off-by-one bug and buffer overflow. A malloc()
:> was being made one byte too short, and the string assembled in it was not
:> null terminated. The string was passed to regcomp() so it never matched
:> anything in /etc/usbd.conf. This is the cause of usbd not working for the
:> last few days.. The new malloc.conf default of AJ triggered this.

:Oh god, did you have to say that? Now phk will be INSUFFERABLE for

AJ ? Guys, 'J' as a default to malloc.conf is a disaster for performance.
There are many programs which allocate large buffers and only use
small portions of them. We *CANNOT* ship with 'J' as a default
for malloc.
'A', ok. 'AH' is even better. 'AJ'? no way.
