Log:
  Hopefully fix Coverity CID 1008328 (Out-of-bounds write) in /bin/sh.
  
  Replace the magic constant 127 in the loop interation count with
  "PROMPTLEN - 1".
  
  gethostname() is not guaranteed to NUL terminate the destination
  string if it is too short. Decrease the length passed to gethostname()
  by one, and add a NUL at the end of the buffer to make sure the
  following loop to find the end of the name properly terminates.
  
  The default: case is the likely cause of Coverity CID 1008328.  If
  i is 126 at the top of the loop interation where the default case
  is triggered, i will be incremented to 127 by the default case,
  then incremented to 128 at the top of the loop before being compared
  to 127 (PROMPTLENT - 1) and terminating the loop. Then the NUL
  termination code after the loop will write to ps[128].  Fix by
  checking for overflow before incrementing the index and storing the
  second character in the buffer.
  
  These fixes are not guaranteed to satisfy Coverity. The code that
  increments i in the 'h'/'H' and 'w'/'W' cases may be beyond its
  capability to analyze, but the code appears to be safe.
