That is a concern I had, but we have only two use cases on rtla so far, and they
are both bounded: 'timerlat/' 'osnoise/'...

I will add a check though.

I made these changes... but I am loosing the debug_msg() with the comm/pid that
matched. I am adding these messages (and I plan to add more) so I can use on
testing scripts...

At the same time, I can share a char buffer[MAX_PATH] for both the comm and
comm_path...

I think I will go this way (using a single buffer), adding a warning... and...

also removing ! in the the revtal = !strcmp(...); if (!retval).

Thoughts?
