    Do not falsely read entire buffer instead of simply the filled with
    
    This was caught via dynamic analysis (clang asan), which I can definitely
    recommend.
    
    Rust evangelists might see this as a prime example for why C is bad, but
    I still think the benefits outweigh the risks if you consider the
    maturity of tooling to catch these kinds of errors. In an ideal world we
    would all be programming in Ada, but C's portability is unmatched.
