I agree with this patch. However, the code is pretty ugly - I'm sure it
must've been me who wrote it :).
Could you please instead rewrite it to use g_strdup_printf() rather than
strncat()s? That way we resolve all string pitfalls automatically - and
this code is not the fast path, so doing an extra memory allocation is ok.
