Here are a couple of alternative workarounds if you need to supply both domain 
and username in the credentials file. The trick is to help strlcpy to terminate 
the string, by explicitly inserting a NULL character.

1) If using a hex-editor insert a NULL character (00) just before the newline 
on each row.

2) or wash/fix an existing credentials file like this:

cat credentials_file | tr -d ' t' | awk -- '{printf "%sn", $0}' > 
new_credetials_file

This also take care of the space problem, since any spaces (or tabs) are 
deleted.

3) or create a brand new credentials file like this:

echo -en "domain=xxxnusername=xxxnpassword=xxxn" > credentials_file
