Hi Dave,

I think this is not correct here. old_buf_len doesn't get assigned the
old buffer's length but instead the new length. So this assignment
should be before the if-then-else that allocates/reallocates the path
buffer, just like it was done previously before this change.

Or is there anything I missed here?

thanks
