In parse_name_and_email() function, there is this line: *name = (nstart < nend ? nstart : NULL); When the function is given a buffer "A <A@xxxxxxxxxxx> <old@x.z>", nstart scans from the beginning of the buffer, skipping whitespaces (there isn't any, so nstart points at the buffer), while nend starts from one byte before the first '<' and skips whitespaces backwards and stops at the first non-whitespace (i.e. it hits "A" at the beginning of the buffer). nstart == nend in this case for a single-letter name, and an off-by-one error makes it fail to pick up the name, which makes the entry equivalent to <A@xxxxxxxxxxx> <old@x.z> without the name.
