Don't use ordinary NULL-terminated strings as Name datums.
Noah Misch <noah@leadboat.com>
Don't use ordinary NULL-terminated strings as Name datums. Consumers are entitled to read the full 64 bytes pertaining to a Name; using a shorter NULL-terminated string leads to reading beyond the end its allocation; a SIGSEGV is possible. Use the frequent idiom of copying to a NameData on the stack. New in 9.3, so no back-patch.
