We want to concatonate join string one, a '/' character, string two and then a NUL terminator. The destination buffer holds ori_gf->gf_pathlen characters. The strlen() function returns the number of characters not counting the NUL terminator. So we should be adding two extra spaces, one for the foward slash and one for the NUL.
