    Fix segfault in maybe_script_execute.
    
    If glibc is built with gcc 8 and -march=z900,
    the testcase posix/tst-spawn4-compat crashes with a segfault.
    
    In function maybe_script_execute, the new_argv array is dynamically
    initialized on stack with (argc + 1) elements.
    The function wants to add _PATH_BSHELL as the first argument
    and writes out of bounds of new_argv.
    There is an off-by-one because maybe_script_execute fails to count
    the terminating NULL when sizing new_argv.
    
    ChangeLog:
    
            * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/spawni.c (maybe_script_execute):
            Increment size of new_argv by one.
