Nice! Two nits are remaining:

I think you missed the review feedback I gave for this line in the
previous mail.

The 'MIN' still looks superfluous (btw., we use min()) - why not simply
set 'size' to the correct value when you set and iterate last_slash?

(and scnprintf() should be used, as Arnaldo suggested.)
