Crud...

Thanks for testing.

I used strndup_user() in a couple other patches today and I didn't
realize how strict it was.  I've NAKed my patches which used
strndup_user().  One of the patches was an infoleak patch so I'm going
to resend that using memdup_user() instead but let's just drop this one.

I guess another safer option would be to just always zero the buffers
going into simple_write_to_buffer()...
