Valgrind complains that we're passing an unintialized buffer to sscanf here. The main problem seems to be that we're not ensuring that the buffer is NULL terminated before we pass it off. This is the second version of this patch, the first one did not increase the buffer allocation by 1 which could have led to clobbering the next byte on the stack if nbytes == INFOBUFLEN.
