Thanks for reporting this.

Changing

memset(&mk->mp->attrs[mk->mp->num - 1], 0, sizeof(mk->mp->attrs[0]));

to

memset(mk->mp->attrs + mk->mp->num - 1, 0, sizeof(mk->mp->attrs[0]));

fixes the false-positive warning

memset: detected buffer overflow: 32 byte write of buffer size 0

even though the pointers have the same value. Does anyone know why?

Thanks,
Thorsten
