Are you clearing the destination buffer before copying the new value?
Or at the very least, are you null-terminating the new value?

Note that string varbind values are held as "data+length", *not*
"data+trailing 0".   So if you just copy the value into an existing
buffer, and don't append a trailing null character, then the new value
will indeed run into the old one.
