Somehow I feel it would be simpler and less error prone if you atually
count to set len to the length if you got negative.

The part that follows the patch, there is a line that subtracts a small
number (off+1) from len --- while it won't have a wraparound issue, it
feels a bit ugly to rely on the "magic -1" value to stay "magic
negative" if small positive integers are subtracted from it.

Also the reason the updated condition to the while loop does not have to
check NUL termination upon negative len is because both (prefix[off] !=
NUL) and (prefix[off] == in[off]) are checked there, which some may find
subtle.

So perhaps this is easier to read?
