Cute...  The fix is obvious (should be
                        char buf[NAME_MAX + 1];
rather than
                        char buf[NAME_MAX];
), but the funny part is that it had been a bug all along -
if you give the mainline a name that has a 255-character component
that happens to start with _, you'll get buf[] filled with a copy
of that component (no NUL in sight) and have it passed as 'name' to
parse_longname() that starts with

        /* Skip initial '_' */
	name++;
	name_end = strrchr(name, '_');

See the problem?  strrchr() expects a NUL-terminated string; giving it an
array that has no zero bytes in it is an UB.

That one is -stable fodder on its own, IMO...
