??!!! I never signed this off! I've never seen it before!

Minor comments below:

'size_t maxlen' would be more explicit.

You could just decrement maxlen instead, and handle maxlen == 0 at the
same time:

if (maxlen <= 1)
goto tail;
*result = *tptr;
result++;
maxlen--;

I prefer to use ARRAY_SIZE(namebuf) instead of sizeof(namebuf). That
way we break compile if the declaration is changed from an array to a
pointer one day.

Same for the others.

Thanks,
Rusty.
