[ 45/66] isdn/gigaset: fix zero size border case in debug dump

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sun Feb 17 2013 - 18:01:58 EST


3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit d721a1752ba544df8d7d36959038b26bc92bdf80 ]

If subtracting 12 from l leaves zero we'd do a zero size allocation,
leading to an oops later when we try to set the NUL terminator.
