fix potential out-of-bounds reads
readlink(3) does not nul-terminate the result it sticks
into the supplied buffer. Consequently, the code
rc = readlink(path, buf, sizeof(buf));
does not necessarily produce a C string.
The code in rc_find_pid() produces some C strings this way
and passes them to strlen() and strcmp(), which can lead
to an out-of-bounds read.
In this case, since the code already takes care to
zero-initialize the buffers before passing them
to readlink(3), only allow sizeof(buf)-1 bytes to
be returned.
(While fixing this issue, I fixed two other locations that
used the same problematic pattern.)
This fixes #270.
