Thanks, Arnd!

In real life, 128 is way larger than necessary so it's not an issue,
which is presumably why you left off the Fixes tag.  Anyway, it's always
good to replace another strncpy().

I see another bug here where m.u.component_create.pid is never
initialized.  I'll send a "m.u.component_create.pid = 0;" fix for that
based on top of your patch.
