Hello, I wrote:
After updating my kernel to 2.6.26 the output for the ide-tape drive
during booting is garbled eg
ide-tape: hdd <-> ht0: Seagate <98>ß8A51|1À<81>ܺ<98>ß STT20000A rev
8A51|1À<81>ܺ<98>ß
This patch fixes the problem by NULL terminating the strings.

PPS: there are more problems with my tapestreamer in 2.6.26 but I'll
post a separate message for that.

Hm, I see that every string variable declared there has 2 extra
characters, and yet the author have managed to make a mistake... these extra
chars don't seem needed.
