Subject: [PATCH] auparse: fix off-by-one issue in path_norm() (#242)
When defining dest = rpath + 1, we end up having the first char of
`dest' as NULL -- since `rpath' points to `working', which is a static
buffer.
With the first char as NULL, path_norm() ends up producing an empty string.
This commit fixes the issue reported in this [1] mailing list post.
