Thanks for catching this. I questioned whether the 17 is sufficient,
but indeed the buffer is never nul terminated except when removing the
64, so it should be ok.
I think I'll apply your patch as a direct fix, but the whole copying
operation is unnecessary and I'll probably remove it. It works just as
well to strncmp and pass p instead of buf to find_sym, so that a
mutable copy of the name to lookup is never needed.
