string: fixed buffer overflow in HX_split when too few fields are present

Jan Engelhardt [Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:08:51 +0000 (19:08 +0200)]



When HX_split is called with a maximum number of desired fields (4th

argument != 0), passing in a string that has less fields than that led

to a buffer overrun (write beyond end of malloc'd area).
