Another option is to use the two parameter version of the copyinstr()
subroutine:
this->text = copyinstr(self->bufp, self->size);
I've updated the DTrace documentation to include information on this:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/DTrace/Actions+and+Subroutines#ActionsandSubroutines-{{copyinstr}}
And I've updated the chapter on User Process Tracing to include an example:
