Rich Felker 769f53598e make globfree safe after failed glob from over-length argument
commit 0dc99ac413 added input length
checking to avoid unsafe VLA allocation, but put it in the wrong
place, before the glob_t structure was zeroed out. while POSIX isn't
clear on whether it's permitted to call globfree after glob failed
with GLOB_NOSPACE, making it safe is clearly better than letting
uninitialized pointers get passed to free in non-conforming callers.

while we're fixing this, change strlen check to the idiomatic strnlen
version to avoid unbounded input scanning before returning an error.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
