Don't make buf_len a pointer that just makes the code messier.

This test is a nonsense.  "buf" and buf_len are always valid
pointers here.  Generally, I'd almost prefer a oops with a stack
trace instead of adding in bogus error handling code for stuff that
can't happen.

Also "buf" is never initialized to NULL, so if there were a
programming bug introduced, it would generate an uninitialized
variable warning even without the superflous test.  So lets remove
it.

This is on the wrong line.

White space.

White space is wrong here.

Those parenthesis are not needed.

                                                                           ^^^^^^
This cast isn't needed by the way.
