Subject: [PATCH] api.c: fix potential buffer overflow
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It is assumed that arguments read from /proc/<pid>/cmdline don't exceed
buf_pname buffer size, which is FILENAME_MAX - 1 characters, but that's
not always the case.

Add check to prevent buffer overflow and discard the excessive part of
an argument.
