Hi Stefan,

NetBSD before 6.0 is definitely the one which breaks here, as well as
other late adopters of srtnlen(), like FreeBSD before 8.0. Please feel
free to NAK the patch if you think that the support of ancient libcs
is not something to worry about (and old BSDs are definitely not LTS
distros with ten-year support span).
