RE: [reSIProcate] Bug in Data::append()


Ok, I understand. I was apparently looking at old code (the 0.9.0 tarball), which clearly had a bug. But I've checked out head and I see it's fixed. I should have done that before reporting the bug.

We went to some effort to make sure the NULL is there to aid in debugging.

It seems to me (and I'm admittedly a ReSIProcate neophyte) that the
correct thing is to remove the statement in append() that sets the NULL.
If the buffer needed a NULL, then it would be there already. And it
looks to me like anything that wants a NULL accesses the string through
c_str() anyway, which explicitly adds one.

FWIW: I remove the statement in append() and I haven't seen any problem
yet.
