The loop termination does not work here. When the final PATH component is investigated, sep points to the NUL. This pointer is assigned to path, which is incremented and now points one past NUL. Then the loop condition (*path) accesses the char behind NUL.

return prog;
  }

Upstream does not have this hunk.

Otherwise, good catch!
