  A side note that could help the patch readers: in some places I've
made hunks that basically rename variables called space or size into
len. The reason is that (in my coding standards) length is the length of
the object we are referring to, whereas space/size/... is the amount of
memory we have allocated for it. For a string, the latter is strictly
greater than the former because of the ending NUL of course.

  The rename is because my brain is used to this way of thinking and
that it helps knowing if the off-by-some (off-by-one for a string) are
included in the length-related number you work with or not. So please
don't discard those :)
