Hi all,
In the file src/network/gai_strerror.c all error messages are terminated with an explicit NUL byte,
except the last that has a NUL byte preceding it. Is this correct? I don't have a deep understanding
of this code, so apologies if this is intentional. It just jumped out at me today as unusual.
Thanks,
Matt

Yes, it's intentional and it's simply how the advance/stop logic
works in the tiny loop in the actual code.
