Bug#521870: [libinotify-ocaml-dev] Bad string length

[Gregory BELLIER <dest@gatekeeper.fr>]

Here it is :
I did a tar.bz2 with all the originals files except inotify.ml and 
inotify_stubs.c. I also let in there the file hello2.txt which is the 
stderr output.

cd ocaml_inotify-0.7_modified

sudo make uninstall && make clean && make && sudo make install

ocamlc unix.cma -I /usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.2/inotify/ inotify.cma -o 
test_err test.inotify.ml

mkdir /tmp/dev

./test_err /tmp/dev 2> hello2.txt

mkdir /tmp/dev/a

cat hello2.txt
We're in inotify_stubs.c
# bytes returned from ioctl: 32
From here, we're in inotify.ml
# toread (it's what we get from inotify_stubs) : 32
Length of string 'a' = 16
Let's iterate on this string to print all chars :
'a'    ''    ''    ''    ''    ''    ''    ''    ''    ''    ''    ''    
''    ''    ''    ''


As you can see with the '', there are too much \0 in the string but I 
think the line "Length of string 'a' = 16" speaks for itself.
