Subject: [9fans] devdraw memory corruption
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 00:44:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2e748c14611ecd8e653a1865598e418d@felloff.net> (raw)

when user does read of exactly 12*12 bytes on draw
ctl file, the snprint() adds one more \0 byte writing
beyond the user buffer and corrupting memory.

fix this by not snprint()ing the final space and add
it manually:
