Why did you change the subject? The previous patch had a much better
one: "trace-cmd: Use asprintf when possible"

Or was it the tool you used to send the patches that chopped it off?

A quick scan of the patch looks good. I'll look a bit deeper at it, and
if I don't find anything, I'll apply it (and fix the subject).

Thanks!
