Zero out the buffer for readlink() since readlink() does not append a

Shouldn't it be PATH_MAX+1 to handle the case when readlink(2) stores
exactly PATH_MAX bytes into the buffer?
According to the definition of PATH_MAX in include/uapi/linux/limits.h
#define PATH_MAX        4096    /* # chars in a path name including nul */

IIUC, Linux limits the path length to 4095 and PATH_MAX includes the terminating nul.



/* Set LAM mode in parent process */
