Hi Dave,

conceptually I am fine with this patch.
However, I do have a few nits in relation to the string handling
as explained below.

strncpy() might be be easier on the eyes.

It seems to me that the above code may overflow str_tmp.

Also, I wonder if read(fd, str_tmp, sizeof str_tmp) might make
things a bit easier over all.

Finally, I have a personal preference for "a + i" over "&a[i]".
Though I'm not going to get excited about it.

I wonder if strncat() would be better above, though I don't think
an overflow can actually occur if str_tmp is null-terminated.
