[PATCH 1/1] kconfig: sym_expand_string_value: allow for string termination when reallocing

From: Andy Whitcroft
Date: Mon Nov 01 2010 - 17:02:05 EST


When expanding a parameterised string we may run out of space, this
triggers a realloc. When computing the new allocation size we do not allow
for the terminating '\0'. Allow for this when calculating the new length.
