Subject[PATCH 08/14] lib/kasprintf.c: add sanity check to kvasprintf
Date
kasprintf relies on being able to replay the formatting and getting
the same result (in particular, the same length). This will almost
always work, but it is possible that the object pointed to by a %s or
%p argument changed under us (so we might get truncated output). Add a
somewhat paranoid sanity check and let's see if it ever triggers.
