hush: in some cases, expand_on_ifs() relied of uninitialized memory
The n > 0 check to prevent access to the last byte of non-existing argv[-1] wasn't enough. Switched to making sure there are initialized (zero) bytes there. A predictable testcase is rather hard to construct, unfortunately, contents of memory depends on allocator behavior and whatnot. function old new delta o_save_ptr_helper 119 137 +18 expand_on_ifs 345 339 -6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 18/-6) Total: 12 bytes Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
