  • Allocate extra byte for NUL-terminator in read_post_data()

    From Deucе@1:103/705 to GitLab note in main/sbbs on Sunday, March 08, 2026 10:53:35

    Why would there be a NUL terminator?

    If it *does* need to be NUL terminated, you're going to have to add that space to the mapped file on disk too, and actually add the termination at some point.

    Line 6630 looks to be doing the NUL-termination:
    ```
    session->req.post_data[session->req.post_len] = 0;
    ```
