It's clearly a bug, since the code asks for trouble by requesting to
read more data than it actually should. In that case the code has to do:

new_key_name = malloc(strlen(key_name)+dkh->keynamelen+1);
strcpy(new_key_name, key_name);
if (strcmp(new_key_name,"") != 0) strcat(new_key_name,"\\");
strncat(new_key_name,dkh->name,dkh->keynamelen);
