    h_resolv: Fix a buffer overflow in load().
    
    fgetln() returns a pointer to an array of characters that is 'len'
    characters long, not 'len + 1'.  While here, overwriting the contents
    of the buffer returned by fgetln isn't really safe, so switch to using
    getline() instead.
    
    Note that these fixes are a subset of those applied to a
    near-identical copy of this function in libc's resolv_test.c in commit
    2afeaad315ac19450389b8f2befdbe7c91c37818.
