Append the strbuf buffer only after detaching it. There is no practical difference here, as the strbuf is not empty and no strbuf_ function is called between storing the pointer to the still attached buffer and calling strbuf_detach(), so that pointer is valid, but make sure to follow the standard sequence anyway for consistency.
