Better to replace
if (count > ORANGEFS_MAX_DEBUG_STRING_LEN + 1) {
silly = count;
count = ORANGEFS_MAX_DEBUG_STRING_LEN + 1;
}
with
if (count > ORANGEFS_MAX_DEBUG_STRING_LEN) {
silly = count;
count = ORANGEFS_MAX_DEBUG_STRING_LEN;
}
instead, so that we wouldn't have to deal with lack of NUL anywhere.
